here's an archived copy of our AMA with @crowd_supply yesterday. it was fun, thanks everyone for popping in! http://dump.mntmn.com/20200604-crowdsupply-mntreform-ama-archive/
Are you interested in an entirely #FreeSoftware and #FreeHardware laptop? How about if it's meant to be modified and upgraded?
In this episode of Libre Lounge, @emacsen sits down with Lukas Hartmann from @mntmn to talk about his history in Free Software, the MNT Reform project, and the future!

@mntmn Congratulations on the campaign!
Now perhaps it's too soon to ask, but what projects are you guys planning to tackle after the laptop ships? Upgraded SOM cards? Adapting the reform motherboard to a standard desktop for factor (mini-ITX preferably)? Or maybe some fun collaboration with the LibreSOC folks?
Anyhow, I really like your modular and open design and I am excited to see how the ecosystem will evolve.

@martijnbraam That's pretty wild!
I made an app to use the PinePhone as boot medium for PCs :)

Thanks to everyone who helped and supported us to make this happen.
@mntmn I know this is a bit after the fact, but you might like checking out the following video:
A substantial portion of the video is dedicated to the guy testing-out/demonstrating what box86 can do on an rpi4. In my opinion, it is really impressive work.
@bart Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is glacier?
@mntmn Even so, looks like you are making good progress. I started working on getting box86 installed on my rpi4 a couple of weeks ago (running 64 bit manjaro), but I haven't yet made it past the compilation stage (I've been too sidetracked with other projects).
Anyhow, if I were in your shoes, I might suggest a few paths: grep the project source code for warning message, check the fithub project page, or pick another game to test, how about battle for wesnoth (open source x86).
*...would probably be in business.*
Ugh.. I totally dropped my phone and accidentally posted accidentally.
Hey @mntmn, I saw on your Twitter account that you want to run some x86 apps on arm. You should really take a look at this project:

Unfortunately this focuses on 32bit systems, but if you were to run a 32bit OS on the reform, you would probably be in buu
@LemmyDev yeah, reddit certainly has become a cesspool...
