    tbh I’m hoping that Ifixit would potentially hookup with Minisforum as their new tablet looks really good

    • I’m also hoping that Linux compatibility is supported cause then this could realistically become my new smartphone replacement with some kde mobile modding

    Oh, ok. iFixit is in the DIY Repair and Sales industry. They are not as noble as they would have you believe. They are a for profit company. They are interested in selling you repair kits, batteries, screens, anti-static mats, and all things they can make a profit on. While promoting themselves as the defacto “right to repair company” they are also using other companies e-waste to build up their own business without actually repairing users products. They avoid any liability (sound familiar?) or responsibility as to having the repaired products actually work. They are a mail order auto-parts catalog. Which is a good thing. Trying to create a cottage industry of tinkerers, makers, and at home fixers is a much better than most tech business models. But this nonsense that they can “break up with” any other company is hilarious self fellating garbage.

    Look! I’m throwing a rock at an oil tanker because it’s bad! They are really gonna regret not paying attention to me now! As a matter of fact, I’m going to divorce that oil tanker! Ha! good luck without me oil tanker!>
