Saw an advert for this thing, in theory it looks pretty good (repairable e-ink tablet) but I’m a little confused by their statement that it will at some point in the future run a linux based operatint system

“A Linux-based system will be open in the future for community modifications and customizations. *Not built-in with the device”

I guess this probably means it’s not actually as open as they claim if you can’t just put mainline Linux/android on it but thought I’d ask here cause in theory it seems like a neat tablet

    I love my A6X2 Nomad, it’s a great device. Note that it’s an Android based device. For me, I have no interest in hacking it, side loading Android apps, or running Linux on it. It does exactly what I want it to out of the box and serves its purpose perfectly as a low power digital notebook.

      To be honest I don’t need to put Linux on it, it’s just nice to know when they inevitably stop updating it I have an alternative
