First impressions

[Mr_Yuzu]

Unboxing was very nice. I was very pleasantly surprised by the shipping conditions and quality of the packaging.

Out of the box I like the feel and weight of it. I think for some people the weight is a bit of an issue.

I'm still a bit confused as to if I'm fully on-boarded or not. I did try and update and it did some minimal updates to some basic apps, but when I tried running

Code:

sudo apt update

it didn't like it. I realize its a special version of ubuntu and yadayada, so.. maybe I did it wrong.

The good:

I think the look, the weight, and the overall quality are better than I expected. It feels nice in my hands. Also, I was over the moon for a linux tablet. I can't stand advertising and have wanted a tablet for years, but hate the idea of being branded/ force fed ads. Very excited for this project.

The not quite as great:
The random bacon sizzle during startup were a bit, well, exciting. I don't know if any one else got those, but it sounded like a short. Maybe mine isn't long for the world?

There is a periodic popping noise (not super loud) that I think might be the camera turning on and off? 

Well, thanks for reading. I'm excited to be in this community and even though I don't have a lot to offer (like I can't write drivers), I'm still happy to help where I can.
