Linus wants an ARM Laptop!
#8
Looks like Linus has grown old and lost his mojo.
Just imagine "current" Linus going back in time and contemplating about starting Linux.
What if Linus had the attitude "not wanting to tinker" when he started Linux?

Currently the Pinebook Pro is not powerful enough to be a developer machine for Linus.
Yes, Apple released the best computers with a 10W SoC, but that's all.
When you don't mind burning through more Watts, you can have faster machines with both Intel and AMD.

Nowadays you can order pre-installed Linux machines, where you need to know just as much about the OS as with Windows and MacOS.
Tomorrow I will receive a Star Lite MkIII (with Ubuntu) and I'm afraid my Pinebook Pro will go down in my priorities.
