    Current State of the Pyra

    htop has a -d (--delay) option which allows you to tell how frequently you want it to update (see manpage for details).

    Issues with updating

    Actually, copying text from an (untrusted) site and pasting directly in a terminal is very dangerous. See an example here: http://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste If you don't want to type a complicated command by hand, I recommand pasting in a text editor first to check nothing...

    Suspending (closing lid), CPU heats up, locks up

    Now, you just need to use the -d option to specify the delay between each iteration, and you don't need the shell loop at all :)

    Which software do you miss on Pyra?

    Yes, but it is just an electron application, I prefer to directly use the web client with chromium. (also, the rpm and deb they provide will silently add their own repository to your package manager, so you should double-check where the updates comes after that)

    Some Pyra software not working

    apt-get and apt are two different front-end for the same functionality, you can use any one as you prefer, apt is more user-friendly They may give you different proposal in complex cases, which may be a reason to try one or the other (or aptitude, or synaptic), but in the end everything ends in...

    WPA3?

    Why does the hardware matter? Isn't WPA supported in software?

    Playing visual novels via QEMU on Pyra

    With a recent kernel, you can use the casefold feature to have an ext4 filesystem which matches files ignoring case. I can even be enabled on a per directory basis. See https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2020/08/27/using-the-linux-kernel-case-insensitive-feature-in-ext4/

    What is your Reason you want this Thing?

    I want a linux powered, general purpose pocket computer with a keyboard. The (retro-)gaming aspect of the pyra is a bonus. I am still using a nokia N810, but the keyboard is not usable anymore.

    2GB and 4GB

    (I should have wroite GiB and Gib, as RAM is really in powers of 2) 1 B(yte) is 8 b(its), so with 4x4Gib (gibibits) you get a total of 2GiB (gibibytes)

    2GB and 4GB

    If I remember correclty (someone more knowledgeable than me could confirm/correct), there are no chip less. The 4GB unit has 4x8Gb modules, and the 2GB unit has 4x4Gb modules.

    So, what's the current status of everything?

    If, like me, you only have basic audio playback needs, you can use apulse to "force" programs that only support pulseaudio (like recent firefox) to send their audio stream directly to alsa, without the need for an actual pulse daemon.

    waiting for the Pyra - ancestors

    I am still using a nokia N810, but the physical keyboard is not usable anymore. (Long) before that, I had a psion serie 5.

    2gb vs 4gb RAM

    Just mount your removable medias with the sync option, from the manpage of mount, that option is honored by ext[23] fat/vfat and ufs. Your removabnle medias are probably vfat, so with that option all IO will be done synchronously. There is probably some configuration file where you can add...

    Pyra in the wild - the real life experience

    There is, it is appropriately called lxrandr. And that one is easily usable under other lighweight environments, as it has only a gtk dependency.

    Thoughts around an Android Go VM for the Pyra?

    Android also needs a patched Linux kernel, I don't think it can run on a vanilla kernel. And AFAIK (though I haven't looked at it recently) some of their patches are a no-go for the mainline kernel.
