Nice! Does the onscreen keyboard work in the login screen? If it doesn't it probably will soon. My understanding is that the wayland onscreen keyboard issues have been fixed really recently.

I was mostly just testing if I could use it without a keyboard and mouse. Which has not been the case with other distros I have tried. It's mostly firefox and the login screen having issues with the onscreen keyboard and the UI not scaling or accecpting touch input well that has been my problem with linux on a tablet.

Yeah, I firefox and the login screen didn't work well with the onscreen keyboard when I tried fedora. I ended up using it with the keyboard attahed. That's why I was so excited when everything worked with PostmarketOS.

No, if I figure out pmbootstrap and make a custom image I will try to get the custom kernel in. So far everything but the cameras seem to work.

I don't think they need pairing. It just worked for me. It's a generic one off amazon. The Microsoft one I got with the tablet broke after a month and the replacement one also broke after a month. I'm still kind of mad about it like 4 year later.

So far it seems really good. I haven't tested it to much though.

 

I haven't had a great time with Linux on a tablet without a keyboard and mouse but PostmarketOS is 100% usable IMO. Even the on screen keyboard on the login screen works.

I messed around with home assistant and the ollama integration. I have passed on it and just use the default one with voice commands I set up. I couldn't really get ollama to do or say anything useful. Like I asked it what's a good time to run on a treadmill for beginners and it told me it's not a doctor.
