These libretto machines are sexy as fuck, friend of mine used to have back back in the day, had a fucking Fallout 2 on it.

also another pic from that thread.

I myself have a X230 machine, not sure if too big by /CPG/ standards

and another one.

and the last one

OP from the original thread, which was just me getting information about a netbook to buy. I can't believe this shit is still going.

eeeee!

dam you
stop posting this lovely set up

>mfw amerifats have to pay extra for softdrink with real sugar in it

Has anyone here ever tried installing a different Linux distro on the Nokia N810 such as Debian? I want to but I'm getting mixed claims on whether or not the wifi would work without issues.

Just to add, by install I mean a full install and not running it via chroot on top of Maemo.

>mfw insecuropeans call soda a softdrink

Give me one good reason to own one of these, followed by things you actually use them for other than browsing the Web.

Portability mainly

It's not really something you own for the lower, it's more of just a niche appreciation of low power or early 2000s laptops

Fucking autocorrect.

Meant to say power, not lower

My x100e is pretty comfy, even more with the new manjaro :^)

>Give me one good reason to own one of these
Small, portable device that you can actually customize the hardware on and put the OS of your choice on, unlike most modern small laptops.

>followed by things you actually use them for other than browsing the Web.
Email, shitposting, and 2hu.

This W701 is a amazing piece of hardware, lovely!

Maemo is good enough, you can run X programs anyways.

My 10-band audio spectrum analyzer is fairly comfy and somewhat portable.

All analog signal processing. Only digital circuitry is for multiplexing the filtered peak detected outputs into an LED display driver and for timing to ensure the correct signal ends up on the correct bar.

I wish I knew how to build a decent case though. It's more of a mount right now and a really shitty one at that.

It would likely have security issues though considering there hasn't been an update in 8 years or so.

Are you seriously worried about security issues on a old ARM Linux phone? What are you worried somebody is gonna steal, your porn history?

...

perhaps the logins to anything saved on that device

Man, people are paranoid these days...

people are so paranoid, not wanting all their information stolen ...

>comfy
>carrying back-breaking, windows 98 running aged hardware

Choose one

I would bet money on it that a recent Android phone has many times higher change of actually falling for pray then a 8 year old ARM Linux OS what's rarely used even now-a-days.

McFucking kill yourselves, goddamn hipsters.

Why do'nt you guys just use a fucking tablet or a surface or a fucking phone or a fucking ultrabook? What's the point of this BS?

Hello original OP, I'm the OP that started the second thread and the ones following, aside from this one. Thanks for creating a movement user, you're the reason I now have 3 netbooks and UMPC's on the way.

What is the comfiest Linux distro?

Unfortunately the touch pad is broken

What's the smallest laptop/tablet/minitablet(?) that can run linux natively, and is atleast not complete shit?

As in not 256mb ram on potato processor

>ultraportables
>"back breaking"
They're infinitely more portable and easy to carry than any shitty 16:9 walmart hipsterbook. Shit, I've got win95 era gear thinner than an MBA.

But can you put anything useful on them? Sticking with the win95/2000 is a deal breaker for me

I have one of these. Atom N270, 1GB RAM, SATA connector for hard drive. Runs Ubuntu flawlessly all things considered.

Still fairly big all things considered. My SP3 is about that size and thinner, with way better specs. I'm more of talking about the micro micro devices like in OP's image

What model is that?

...

...yeah? what do you define as "useful"? if all you use your computer for is mindless media consumption you don't need an ultraportable in the first place

shit the only things I really find that the NT 4 system I'm posting from right now lacks are JS and Spotify, still runs office, still runs acrobat, still runs photoshop, still runs visio, still runs mathematica, still runs putty, still does everything it did when it was brand new just as well as it did it when it was brand new

Clearly a IBM ThinkPad S30

Just look in the photo.

What is the best OS I can install on this little shit?
I'm planning to get one just to fuck around with it. CPU will be OC'd to 1.15GHz.
Will native Debian ARM run on it?

Yup.

With full support of all hardware?
Do I have to run it from SD card or can I replace maemo from emmc with debian?

Why does no one make lowspec laptops with monochrome LCDs and a smaller form factor by removing the fucking useless trackpad and replacing it with a simple trackpoint?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900

An application called "Easy Debian" installs a Debian LXDE image on the internal memory, enabling applications such as IceWeasel (Firefox browser) and all of the OpenOffice.org suite to run within Maemo. Other applications in the Synaptic package manager that are included in the Debian installation, such as GIMP, can run within the LXDE interface. Software can also be added to Debian using Maemo's chroot utility using Synaptic or apt-get at the command line, such as Stellarium or the zim desktop wiki, and this can then be accessed either via the LXDE desktop, by icons in the program manager, or by shortcuts on the desktop.

Dude, I actually just bought the phone because of your post, I wanted to buy it back when it came out but it was too expensive for a "toy", just got one for 50eur boxed and mint condition, gonna go pick it up soon, going to play with it all night!

Go look at the dates behind those claims, if it goes from oldest to newest something like, "no. no. no. maybe. kinda. yes. yes.", give it a go.

I said NATIVE DEBIAN, not easy debian. Easy Debian runs like shit and is unusable.

I had it twice as a main phone. In both situations sold it after couple of months of use. It's unusable as a GPS navigation or internet browser, but it's very nice as an UMPC and a device used to pentest networks.

I just want to toy around with it like a UMPC

Then it's perfect.

Thanks user, i was without my glasses and missed that.

so comfy

How can white laptops even compete?

...

...

...

It makes me mad thinking how easily with today's technology they could make a mini-laptop like that with a good screen, a powerful enough cpu and with decent battery life.

It's kinda ironic how despite having less advanced hardware companies in the past tried to be more futuristic than now.

That's so fucking beautiful

...

...

I don't know what it is but it looks cool.

THIS is a pure sex.
I want this.

heres my 240x next to my x200s

Some chinks are on the case

Google gpd win

x200 is maximum comfy

>windows
trash

You're retarded. Get the fuck out. Of course you can install any OS you want on it you piece or shit

I want to stick my dick into it.

Do you sit 24/7 on Sup Forums reposting your shitty 10 years old x200?
Get a life, dude. Get friends. They'll give you all the attention you need.

>Of course you can install any OS you want on it you piece or shit

youre full of shit. they implement secure boot and other methods to prevent the installation of linux

Secure boot can be disabled you uncultured negroid.

thanks

ooh here its next to my ac100

Also even with secure boot you can install linux, it's just a bit more tricky.

post legs. I have a x200 too pham.

>ac100
Can you run Debian XFCE?
How well does it work?

y he mad tho
x200 is best
but no legs

What do you actually use the Libretto for?

I've got one but I'm struggling to think of an actual use beyond the novelty of the size of the thing. Games came to mind, but most of the ones I really enjoy require hardware slightly more powerful than the Libretto.


Thinking about picking up a Samsung Q1 because they're really cheap for a Windows tablet UMPC thing.

Physical Keyboard and usually laptop form-factor.
I don't like tablets in general, but I fucking loathe software keyboards.

Phones don't run desktop operating systems and software most of the time.
Also, cost. Old Windows 95/98/XP UMPCs are significantly cheaper than an ultrabook and often more physically portable to boot.

do you wear panties as well as socks

ofc user
and skirts
and other shit

Kind of costs a lot of money but the new thing from the pandora people seems pretty cool

You could replace it with Debian, but it would make it even slower then Easy Debian, because Debian is a hog next to Maemo.

Yes you can run Debian, and XFCE, and many other distros. But the only one with a fairly easy install process in my opinion is Lubuntu.

Main issue is the 512MB RAM, and if using the proprietary video driver, 64MB of that is dedicated as VRAM.

Other issue is lack of optimization, so though the hardware is capable of decent 3D rendering, and HD movie decoding, it rarely is realized

I couldnt get really any NES emulator or Genesis emulator running with a decent frame rate

Does great for porn, Sup Forums, wikipedia, email, ssh

>a surface

ASUS X205TA. Yes, my phone's camera is a potato.

>try to emulate the old Touhou games on a Libretto 50ct
>Completely unplayable.

Nyoro~n

Your AC100 needs a good cleaning.

overclock it :^)

Considering how poorly it performed, I think it would still be unplayable.

It's actually possible. I read it on an obscure 90s forum that for some reason was still up in 2015. It involved tracing wires from the CPU to several points on the PCB. Fuck that, I don't want to ruin my 70ct.

It's a cat, user

hot. I'd love to rim and spank you.
