This is the first time I ever thought we need an open source monitor hardware

I feel like we need open source hardware cellphones too, and everything else.

Fair point

Need? Absolutely.

How good will it be? Hopefully better than the OpenMoko Freerunner I once had - good idea, worst execution ever. Wouldn’t even work half decently as a phone, not to mention any other aspects of it…

How do you feel about the PinePhone? There even the LTE modem runs FOSS Linux (on one of the two processors in the modem).

I have PinePhone. It's not really usable. Battery life is atrocious. Just overall meh. I wish I could use it.
