<__red__> I have two targets - my Planet Computers Gemini and Planet Computers Cosmo

<samueldr> (that's what postmarketOS uses for the gemini pda)

2020-03-04

<flokli> andi-: samueldr: forget about mainline kernel. I saw a similar promise with the gemini pda "once hitting xxk, you'll be able to install Debian on it as well"

2019-11-30

<samueldr> so the gemini, too, apparently

2019-10-21

<adisbladis> samueldr: Tbh the gemini porting experience was also pretty good

2019-10-06

<adisbladis> samueldr: I'm gonna have to try it out on the gemini, but now I have other things to do

2019-10-04

<t184256> How come this Gemini thing has more home row keys than the current crop of GPD/One Mix/whatever
<samueldr> the gemini PDA is running on Android or their Debian distro?
<adisbladis> samueldr: I'm using it on a Gemini PDA

2019-04-14

<duncan^> I actually already run Nix on my Gemini :) but proper NixOS would be pretty cool
<samueldr> is it because gemini didn't release the source?
<samueldr> :/ their gemini port isn't running from a source build?

2019-04-03

<duncan^> but.. it seems to be working - so, I guess I do have nix on the gemini pda running sailfish :)

2019-04-01

<duncan^> I am asking since I've acquired a cute new toy and wish to install nix on it :) the Gemini PDA

2018-06-17

<flokli> lk source got published for the gemini
<samueldr> they have a dev working on it not only for the gemini
<flokli> unfortunately, that gemini thing uses a custom mediatek bootloader protocol, exposed via some binary application linked to a old qt version :-/
<flokli> samueldr: just read the discourse article as well. might be very well the gemini port will profit from that as well :-)

<andi-> sphalerit: nah, only thought about it a few days ago. I'll try to get the software packaging done until then. I can imagine packaging the KDE/GNOME kind they are producing will already be a small challenge. After all we could probably fallback to a Gemini for initial testing of the stack. Not the same CPU (I think) but phone-like aarch64. In January my device is supposed to arrive..

2018-05-24

<flokli> grw: let's continue in #gemini-pda, unsure if we should spam here. I do get lk output. Kernel sets printk.disable_uart=1, so nothing after that. Let's see if I can somehow interrupt and change this.

2018-05-23

<grw> flokli: so, when will you be opening up your gemini to find the uart? :P

2018-05-18

<pxc> I hope your new Gemini is awesome!
<pxc> same. Are you an Emacs user, flokli ? I've been considering the Gemini as an awesome way to do Emacs on mobile, but I'm not sure the keyboard has a great layout for it. I use vim keys and leader keys, so the lack of modifiers miiiiiight not be that big of a problem. I'm still waffling
<pxc> flokli: !! I"ve been thinking about ordering a Gemini PDA. I'm sorry, I missed some of the context. Are you planning to run NixOS on it?
<flokli> samueldr, grw: received a gemini shipping notification just now :-)

2018-03-16

<grw> flokli: you see gemini bl/kernel source is posted?

2018-01-01

<flokli> currently, most of my boards are armv7-based. but I think I'll do much more with aarch64 as soon as the gemini pda arrives in my inbox ;-)

2017-12-13

<samueldr> that video is of debian on the gemini, yeah, much better than the promise
<grw> flokli: i backed the gemini few weeks ago :)

<flokli> "The Gemini PDA is an all new device that has modern specs, but retains the original keyboard design. Not a lookalike, but the same tech that made it so uniquely comfortable to type on."
<flokli> anybody of you thought about buying a [Gemini PDA](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-pda-android-linux-keyboard-mobile-device-phone) ? Sounds like a nice portable piece of hardware
