Thanks for the link. It looks pretty cool. Form fact wise it looks to be competitive with an Android phone and a portable keyboard. So it's not clear immediately which is better.

I use termux daily, and you can stand up pretty much anything including a production grade PostgresDB. It's not a toy.

The keyboards on them are excellent, but the software/firmware stories for their devices are awful. Frozen kernels due to proprietary blobs, and support for running full Linux distros is limited and lags by months to years. And they're expensive as hell.

But they keyboards are good enough that I'd still kinda like to try the Astro Slide 5G. I just don't want to order one only to wait years for it to arrive.
