I'm in the market for a Linux friendly ultralight laptop to check web apps and run terminal, nothing fancier then that. Do any cheap systems exits these days? I was looking at a chrome book but apparently the mediatek chip doesn't play nicely with FOSS.
Any thoughts?
I write and run plenty of small to medium Python scripts on my iPhone. It's an adjustment, but it's absolutely manageable.
Is that your preference?
Not particularly. I use it because it's always available.
But the limiting factor is way more the lack of real estate than it is typing.
I'd much rather have something with a dedicated keyboard and sturdy hinge.
