Hello, All,
I’m considering a PinePhone/Keyboard purchase and was wondering if folks here might answer a few questions.
I’m fairly versed in Linux and understand that the PP is an indefinite WIP. I don’t expect to use it as a daily driver phone (but certainly hope to someday), but more as a Linux PDA.
1) Will a licensed TextMaker run on PP’s stock Manjaro?
2) Does Manjaro run a full Thunderbird, albeit slowly?
3) Is Newsboat or another terminal RSS reader available?
4) Are the keyboard configs configurable in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ ? For instance, I would like to remap the ?/ key to a Right Shift, then remap ?/ to fn+key or something similar
5) I have read that the kb keys are physically swappable. Is that true?
Many thanks for any answer or advice,
Jake
