Weekly Linux and open source news, now expanded to potentially 15 minutes or less, still with no ads and no chatter.
An old samsung tablet picked up from ewaste dump, running #postmarketos edge. Connected bluetooth mouse and keyboard and it works as my laptop. Can run libreoffice to edit documents, watch youtube videos and much more.
Thanks @postmarketOS
