Beautiful. I miss those CHONKbooks.
A huge part of why I drooled over the #MNTReform was the CHONK factor. Oh my, it so reminded me of my classic Latitude!!

Is there anyplace where you are keeping a tally of the #MNTReform variants shipped in the wild?
I wondered about that a lot recently, when working on support in #Guix ... but only for the most part able to test on a MNT/Reform2 rk3588. It would also help give a sense of which platforms to even attempt to support.
A precise total would be awesome, but even rough numbers would sate my curiosity!

An ostensibly complete #Guix System #MNTReform rk3588 configuration:
https://codeberg.org/vagrantc/mnt-reform-guix-config/src/branch/main/config-mnt-reform.scm
caveats:
It could use workarounds from https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools in particular to get ethernet working more reliably.
It does build a full working u-boot image, but does not actually install it directly, that requires a manual step:
sudo dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/sdX seek=64
I took a leap of faith and installed it directly to eMMC and was lucky enough to not regret it. :)

Boot tested #Guix System on the #MNTReform tonight!
After a few fiddly bits getting the right modules into the initrd and successfully running "guix system init" ... much to my surprise... it booted successfully on the first try!
As they say, this is not my first rodeo...
Substitute availability for aarch64 has been quite good the last couple days, otherwise I might still be compiling things!
Will push a fairly minimal example system configuration to the WIP branch tomorrow.
Made a #MNTReform kernel for #Guix ... and used my MNT Reform2 rk3588 to build the kernel and successfully booted to #Debian !
With 32GB of ram, 8 moderately fast arm64 cores and an NVMe disk, it seems quite viable to run Guix.
Probably still missing some functionality, but the screen, mouse, keyboard, ethernet all work, at least!
Thanks @josch for organizing those patches so nicely for the reform-debian-packages repository!

@friedensbote Ich nutze ein #tuxedo Notebook. https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/ Funktioniert tadellos. Ich finde aber auch die #mntreform Initiative sehr cool. https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform

Schon jemand probiert, ein 5 GbE-NVMe B+M Modul für Ethernet (RTL8126) in ein MNT Reform oder Pocket Reform zu bekommen?
Hätte gerne mehr als 1999-Gigabit, wo SSDs Kreise drum laufen.
So, let's say I would want a tablet, with the goal of using it with a touchscreen optimized Linux and not with Android.
What would my best options be?
The Pinetab2 certainly has too weak hardware.
I wish there was something like a tablet using the #mntreform computemodules.
The original @mntmn #MNTreform laptop was way to bulky to my taste. The pocket reform too small for my usage (I owned a similar form factor in the past and it ended up being barely used). Now that MNT Reform Next seems to be much more what I'd be looking for...if I didn't own 2 laptops already.

Who knows when my current thinkpads will die (one is already showing weird and random trackpad issues) and that day I might look for a new one in a hurry if I can't repair it and the reform next might be unavailable that day :| But on another hand spending 1300€ for something I don't need right now seems like just buying e-waste. :|

I am very happy that #Gentoo has added a "jumbo-build" USE flag to Firefox. Without disabling this flag I probably could not build Firefox on my #MNTReform laptop, which is currently still powered by a #BananaPi CM4 SoM with merely 4 GiB of RAM.
How have I never heard about this glorious machine before? And its bigger brother, the #MNTReform. https://shop.mntre.com/
