@aral I'm going the other way. I think "my next laptop" for personal use is going to be a Librem 5 + a laptop dock.
@kyle @aral Yeah. I'm approaching it from the perspective of the distro I typically use on my other machines (Guix System) which I'd eventually like to run on the Librem 5 if it were to become my primary machine.
Compiling software there is still fairly common (because the build farm can lag behind sometimes) - the package manager makes that easy, but you do need the resources for it.
@kyle @aral Sure, I'm mostly just thinking that it may not be powerful enough to compile some software on its own in a reasonable amount of time. Firefox takes aaaages to build on my laptop with an i5, for example; I can imagine it'd take a lot longer on an i.MX8M.
