I have installed RISC OS on Linux on PineTab2 (also on PinePhone with Mobian). Is not an Emulator, is an executable. So it is very fast with the access of the hardware like WLAN etc. The screenshot are my own settings.

You can download from PyraDirect . The collection I have made for the Pyra handheld based on ROD's PiDirect but works fine on PineTab.
It need base-devel as dependencies (e.g. sudo pacman -Sy base-devel)
Unpack the download in Terminal with
tar —xattrs -xvf Downloads/pyra_direct.tar.gz
to your home directory. It takes a while.
Then in Terminal…
Dir RISC_OS
./run_RISC_OS
The first start takes a bit longer.

I have perform a system upgrade/actualization and it fails. It looks like all is working fine but after restart it ends in a endless loop. Enter the GUI is no longer possible.
With CTRL+ALT+F2 I can enter the Terminal. My account is working but no network and "startx" fails.
I have try to install the available actualization in discovery and later, after a "factory reset", in terminal "sudo pacman -Syu". All the same.
After the actualization e.g. freecad, musescore are working (before only installing possible) but after a restart... next "factory reset".
Any ideas?

My PBP broke due to stiff hinges. I have replaced the Palm case, released the stiff hinge and transplanted all contents.
But the PBP now will not switch on. I have checked all connections, ribbons etc. All look OK.
Can anyone help me with tests to find the problem? Email would be very useful.

Minimal community edition of Armbian to run a minimal OS, podman and OpenClaw
(Just wanted to share my recent success)
Downloaded community rolling release minimal Arabian image from:
https://www.armbian.com/rock64/
Etchered onto 4Gb SD-Card.
Booted, user:root pass:1234
Added ssh key, disable root password.
Ran the armbian-update
$> sudo apt-get install f2fs-tools
$> armbian-config (transfer os to internal emmc
(this worked like a charm, uses f2fs and leave /boot as ext)
$> sudo apt-get install git
$> sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
Using podman required the following dependencies:
$> apt install uidmap
$> apt install nftables
$> apt install catatonit
$> apt install passt
$> apt install podman
$> apt install podman-compose
$> git clone --depth 10 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw
$> # tmp isn’t big enough for the next steps
$> mount -o remount,size=2600M /tmp
$> cd openclaw
$> ./setup-podman.sh --quadlet
$> sudo systemctl --machine openclaw@ --user start openclaw.service
However, I struggled to access logs of what was going on inside podman.
Plan B mise-en-place managed tools
Install mise-en-place using apt
from: https://mise.jdx.dev/installing-mise.html
Code: sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install -y curl
sudo install -dm 755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fSs https://mise.jdx.dev/gpg-key.pub | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/mise-archive-keyring.asc 1> /dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/mise-archive-keyring.asc] https://mise.jdx.dev/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mise.list
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y mise
As user claw.
Add activation to ~/.bashrc
$> echo 'eval "$(mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
$> mise use -g node@22
$> mise use -g pnpm
$> mise settings set npm.package_manager pnpm
$> mise use -g npm:openclaw
$> which openclaw
$> /home/claw/.local/share/mise/installs/npm-openclaw/2026.2.21-2/bin/openclaw
$> openclaw onboard

Hello all. I'm thinking about following option:
connect one 2.5" HDD to a USB3.0 port and second HDD to a USB-C port. Can be both powered on simultaneoulsy only from USB?
If I transfer data from one disk to another will the data transfer be too slow because both disk are on the same USB3 controller?
What if I connect the second disk to a USB2 port?
Only one disk will be working 24/7. The other one will only be turned on for weekly backups.

Using PineTab2 is great. On Gnome everything feels snappy enough. Only using a full scale browser like Brave needs way too much resources. It is very slow and some sites do not work at all.
Anyway waypipe solved that for me by being able to stream Brave from my main powerful computer. Having installed waypipe on both client and server using just this.
Code: waypipe ssh myfedora-desktop-pc flatpak run com.brave.Browser --ozone-platform=wayland
If one is bothered by the performance of the browser or other apps. It feels so much snappier, native and stable. Even touch inputs work - pinch to zoom, scrolling, swiping. I did not see a lot of talk about waypipe on the PineTab2.
