shom ✊🏽🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚It came down to the wire but I did manage to finish a Week One PineNote video: <a href="https://makertube.net/w/cSDcWZVjFksZsxpPx5yo8j" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://makertube.net/w/cSDcWZVjFksZsxpPx5yo8j</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@PINE64" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@PINE64</a> has created an excellent device and the community around it is awesome, kind, and super helpful. There are rough edges for sure but it is totally usable out of the box and I'll go into application specific configuration in future posts/videos as long as people find this useful. Let me know what you'd like to see!<a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pine64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pine64</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pinenote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineNote</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/openhardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenHardware</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/openhardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenHardware</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>

shom ✊🏽🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚I reflashed the PineNote back to stock with the latest image from January. Even though I had updated via <code>apt update</code> to the latest kernel and software patches, the device feels more delightfully responsive after the re-flash. I would recommend it if/when you get one, AFTER you back it up.I had to go look look in multiple places for backup and flashing instructions and some of the instructions are for version 1 so they didn't line up exactly. I plan to upstream this into the documentation if they'll have it, but it's published in a 'gist' on Codeberg now, so feel free to check it out. I would love any feedback you have.<a href="https://codeberg.org/shom/gists/src/branch/main/pinenote-backup-flashing.md" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/shom/gists/src/branch/main/pinenote-backup-flashing.md</a><a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pine64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pine64</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pinenote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineNote</a>

shom ✊🏽🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚Made an outline for the PineNote video. I'm going to put together a "good enough" video so it actually gets done and I can make more videos to cover different aspects later.I'm surprised by the amount of interest but I'm so excited to see that. I want to do my part of the Community Edition contribution by sharing all the info I can. Software development isn't the only way to contribute to FOSS!<a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pine64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pine64</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pinenote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineNote</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/openhardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenHardware</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>

shom ✊🏽🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚PineNote Fedi Q&AThanks for the interest. There were some overlapping questions, I'm reviewing by category. I don't have answers for every question but I'll do my best and some of it will have to come later out of necessity. I'll be adding a link to a full blog post here soon™: (<a href="https://shom.dev/posts/20250308_pinenote-day-one/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PineNote - Day One</a>).Linux ExperienceThis is a first-class Linux device, full on Debian Trixie with a full Gnome desktop with Pine specific packages that are pinned so they're not overridden by generic packages. The on-screen keyboard has been the only source of frustration. The display runs at 200% and the keyboard isn't optimized for that.Display Rendering ModesThere's a handy widget to change the current display rendering modes based on what you're doing.<ul><li>Grayscale: 16 levels of gray for best quality, slowest refresh, good for graphics.</li><li>DU4: 4 levels of grey, great for reading (text is very crisp).</li><li>B&W + Dither: best for fast refresh needs, writing, terminal, etc. still easy to read but display will feel lower res. B&W and B&W invert: these exist but I haven't found them to be that useful for me yet.</li></ul>BacklightWonderfully configurable from very dim to burn your retina. The white and the warm backlights can be controlled individually from the quick access, so you can create your own perfect color temperature. Genuinely delighted by this!Applications<ul><li>Terminal: Gnome Terminal, everything works great, touch typing hampered by on-screen keyboard but entirely good experience as a terminal with B&W + Dither mode.</li><li>Browser: Firefox, full install, works with plugins (only tried uBlock Origin).</li><li>Reader: KO Reader (more utilitarian) and Foliate (more UX polish) but both work great with epub and mobi, didn't try pdf much but it works. I will test annotation, marking, etc. later. It's a good eBook experience, I'm happy to say but as long you realize that it's not that small but definitely not heavy for its size and build quality.</li><li>Note-taking: Xournal++, works fine out of the box but can be improved with some community config. Haven't used the writing much, more on that in the future. Without config, totally usable but not a dream.</li><li>App Sources: Anything available in Debian Trixie and Flatpaks cab be enabled. I plan to test and use Flatpaks, will report back.</li><li>Sync: Syncthing built-in but I read people are also using NextCloud with it. Will test both in the future, might need a test NextCloud instance (if you want answers sooner).</li></ul>BatteryDefinitely not enough data to say. I've been poking and prodding the device most of the day and it has used about 30% of charge so that is very encouraging. Closing the folio case and opening it up again is almost instant response, which I love (was a big fear). Speculation: The device must be doing some good battery management it seems since first launch of app after inactivity takes a bit to startup but is responsive after launch.PeripheralsI have not connected Bluetooth devices yet, I plan to test it with Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and headphones and report back in the utnext couple days. Disclaimer based on very quick research: There's no USB-C dock functionality, the chip supports USB 3 PCIe,but the actual circuit out to USB-C connector is USB 2.0. There is no physical way for display mirroring (as in act as a external display) or multi-monitor support (as in extend/duplicate screen). But there are Gnome tools to achieve this, I'll play with them at some point.Resources<ul><li><a href="https://pndeb.github.io/pinenote-tweaks/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On-device documentation shown on startup</a>.</li><li><a href="https://domistyle.gitlab.io/pinenote-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Great blog post with device overview and links to resources</a>.</li><li><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@carbonatedcaffeine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@carbonatedcaffeine</a>'s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdVTsU3z511czt6WO_w5_MpOW52KkhQCB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a> demo and tutorials.</li><li><a href="https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Community developed Debian image</a> that is shipping on device.</li></ul>Thanks for asking<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/@MrMozz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MrMozz</a>, <a href="https://hallo.ween.de/@chris" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chris</a>, <a href="https://social.tdback.net/@tdback" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tdback</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@PINE64" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@PINE64</a> I haven't tagged you on every single reply/post but I did want to make you aware in case I misrepresented anything, I'd be happy to correct any factual errors.<a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pine64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pine64</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pinenote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineNote</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/openhardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenHardware</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>

shom ✊🏽🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚I have been really hoping the warm front light was decent. It is fantastic! That's about halfway up the brightness scale. The regular (white/blue) and warm front lights are separate sliders both in the quick access menu (white is totally off).Garmin watch is still showing a bit more blue than white. I adjusted the color balance to correct for the camera and get it to a close as what I see in a pitch black room.More updates later, send any questions you have. Quick (pine) note 🥁, the plastic back feels good but it's a fingerprint magnet but the folio cover is very nice.<a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pine64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pine64</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/pinenote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineNote</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/openhardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenHardware</a> <a href="https://gts.shom.dev/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>

shom ✊🏽🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚The PineNote is here! I'm planning on making a hands on video to share my experience. Let me know if you have any questions you want me to try and answer. I don't plan to do technical tests but open to collaborating on it.First impression, feels like a quality and sturdy device. Feels good in the hand, the texture is a kinda soft grippy plastic. Pen felt good, the writing friction seems ok, I don't want to make any software qualifications until I update the device but still happy with the out-of-box experience. The wake from sleep time is essentially instant.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@PINE64" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@PINE64</a> great work on the PineNote, I'm very impressed with the hardware!Edit: <a href="https://shom.dev/posts/20250308_pinenote-day-one/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Link to blog post</a> with thoughts after day one.

FellI really want to get a PineNote, but my wife has raised valid concerns that 610€ may be a bit much for us at the moment. I hate to admit it, but she's right 😭 Let's hope they have plenty of stock this time.<a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/PINE64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PINE64</a> <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/PineNote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PineNote</a>
