PSA: We fixed the GPU switcher plasmoid problem and uploaded a new ISO, nitrux-nx-desktop-plasma-5943de83-amd64.iso. This ISO was signed with a different public key; check the updated Release Announcement.

In our previous blog post 2025 Priorities: Reliability, Audio, Cameras and More, we asked "is there anything that you find terribly important that we have missed here?". And indeed, there was one thing that people would have liked us to focus more on, which is a better keyboard experience.

This was unbelievably great timing, because we are actually integrating a new keyboard with great new features!

PSA: We have detected an issue with the GPU Switcher plasmoid. We're investigating the problem.

It came down to the wire but I did manage to finish a Week One PineNote video: https://makertube.net/w/cSDcWZVjFksZsxpPx5yo8j

@PINE64 has created an excellent device and the community around it is awesome, kind, and super helpful. There are rough edges for sure but it is totally usable out of the box and I'll go into application specific configuration in future posts/videos as long as people find this useful. Let me know what you'd like to see!

After Debian archive was updated to 12.10, the Debian CD team did the hard work of preparing and testing our installation medias to make sure everything is working correctly. Their work is now complete and the images are available at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ #debian #bookworm

@starfivetech Some additional PineTab-V OS information because I ran out of characters. Both cameras and hardware acceleration work out of the box with this default OS*.

*HEVC and MJPEG hardware decoding does not currently work in Firefox.

Updated PineTab-V devices have just made their way to the PineStore as of yesterday! There have been some notable hardware improvements to the device since the last batch.

* An accelerometer was added to the device
* Resolved slow charging while the device is turned off
* An LED status indicator light has been added to the device (similar to the PinePhone)
* Added a proper ID for the PineTab-V in the EEPROM

Default OS was developed by @starfivetech (thanks!) and is based on Debian.

Debian is among the distributions with most supported CPU architectures and excellent cross-compilation support. We are working on improving its cross-building capabilities and keeping it easily cross-bootstrappable from source for upcoming CPU architectures. Therefore, we'll meet in an upcoming team sprint in Würzburg, Germany. See https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2025/BootstrapCrossbuild .

A toda la gente que os estáis escapando de X, Spotify, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc.

Sois increíbles.

Estáis haciendo algo muy difícil, ir cambiando cada uno de esas dependencias y hábitos, cuando la opción fácil es estar dentro del tecnofeudalismo.

Pocas veces alinear nuestra ética con nuestros actos fue fácil, pero pocas veces fue tan necesario como ahora, donde se ve la deriva nazi de estas grandes tecnológicas.

¡Os quiero a todes!
