I know I haven't been posting a lot lately, but I wanna say that my @starlabssystems StarLite MK V is becoming better by the month.
The battery time improved quite a bit with recent updates and I am still enjoying the great display and speed overall!
In fact I believe this is pretty much the best linux tablet you can currently get.
@dan_nanni of those, #Starlabs, #Novacustom, #System76 have #Coreboot laptops
#linux #laptop #FrameWorkLaptop #StarLabs #AMDRyzen #IntelUltra
I get to order a new laptop for work. I have been allowed to go for less mainstream vendors, oriented toward linux compatibility.

https://frame.work/nl/en
I will most likely end up choosing frame.work because they are EU based, making the purchase and repairs simpler.
The question: which processor should I choose ?
I have a @starlabssystems Starlite MK V and I want Gnome to go into the "Tablet" mode whenever I fold the keyboard to the back (deactivate keyboard and open the on screen keyboard). It seems like there is no intended way how to do that therefore I wrote a small workaround.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Is anyone using the Starlite Linux tablet by Starlabs, or have an opinion on it? I am in need of a new daily driver tablet and would like to go full Linux, if possible.
If you value free firmware you can trust, you may prefer
- #system76 @system76
- #novacustom @novacustom
- #starlabs @starlabssystems
They support Linux as their main OS.
a surprising lack of fingerprints?
StarBook 6 vs StarBook 7
How time flies!
Less than 2 months ago, we were designing the StarLite MK V case in our Mastodon thread, and they're already in production.
Note: my initial design was not the final. There is no magnet on the logo, the hinge is roughly in the middle of the case and there is no hole.

Hey @starlabssystems , are you aware of any alternative cases for the #StarLiteMkV ? I would be interested in anything, no matter if readymade by #StarLabs, a third party or if I have to print it myself.

I'm in the process of improving the replies from our automated chatbot.
Is there anything you would want me to include? Info you think you would need / want 24 hour access to?

Question.....
If you are buying a new laptop, do you wait for the more expensive "Next-gen" processor to launch, or do you go for the most recent processor?
Mastodon,
I have a dilemma.
Recently we are seeing more people wanting to "escape windows". These people are admittedly not tech-savvy.
We get many queries from non-techies, who I think would benefit from a "Learn page" - a brief page of Linux, beginner-friendly distros, advice for beginners & walkthroughs, etc.
1. If you are a techy Starlabs community member, would you be opposed to this?
2. Would you want to be excluded from these Linux 101 posts/emails?
GM Mastodon!
I apologise to anyone using dark mode because my image is a bit bright...
But it's Monday morning, I'm scrolling Trustpilot again. Thinking perhaps laptop companies, in general, just have low ratings on Trustpilot. Our mild 3.5 Stars looks more impressive in comparison.
But the mission to 4.5 Stars is still on and I'll keep focus on maximising customer happiness until we get there!
If you have the @starlabssystems StarLite 5 Linux tablet and the touchpad on the magnetic keyboard doesn’t disable when typing for you (didn’t for me, although I’m on the latest firmware), see the fix here:
