You know, being without a computer right now, I’m tempted to get a Raspberry Pi 400 to tide me over until Pyra arrives. It kinda irks me that there’s nowhere online to browse the available packages though. The top result just has a list in a text file without an extension that Safari on my iPad refuses to open.

Still fresh, damnit!
I assume it hasn't deviated too far from the parent debian project yet: https://packages.debian.org/buster/

Sorry, I really meant more the dual-boot facility!

Well, we could do that on the Pandora. I've heard the Pyra's boot system has a menu, and provided you can edit it's entries I would have thought so, yes.

That would be awesome
Maybe to generate buzz, attract investors without giving away how they are doing it (maybe because it's still patent pending; or they don't want industrial copying before going to market first).

So what fanta did like 20 years ago: relaunching with 15 flavours or so (generates buzz, attract people so they come to know your brandname), then cutting back to orange only (to maximize sale by offering less choice) is the most efficient way?
Kinda like the Pyra: Launch with 4 colours, but offer 2 (black and gray)
Not a bad investment. But there are also second hand laptops and desktops that might be interesting. Just refrain from buying too much, because there will be a price hike for a few years.

Some pretty interesting comments beneath: https://hackaday.com/2020/07/22/cbs-announces-functional-tricorder-replica-for-2021/
Anyone here tried making their own Arducorder?

Linux-Libre is a GNU package. This means that Linux-Libre is the GNU version of Linux, so it is GNU Linux. I have installed GuixSD on my desktop computer recently so that that desktop computer now runs GNU/GNU Linux; or as I like to call it, GNU+GNU Linux. You mere GNU/Linux peasants are nothing compared to me now. And if you use just Linux, then you are less than nothing; and that to an even greater extend if that Linux distro that you use is Android.
Glory to GNU+GNU Linux; or as I like to call it, GNU/GNU Linux!

Do you/does anyone else here have any ideas for progressing this (last update described further down in the thread’s comments) :

What chance of a UFS 2.1 or 3.0 interface in a future Pyra replacement board?
It's written as an infomercial, probably sponsored by (see brandname in link). But it has data tables, so that's good.
Only twice throughput speed as UFS2 (due to the 100% the bandwidth increase), but only 50% speed increase in random access (something does not add up). So good for ISO files (and 16GB RAW camera pictures), but no idea if they are noticeably faster for a Unix system. The Pyra has a large amount of RAM, so it's RAM speed that is more essential.
Also a bit worried about the powerdraw to be able to do this at full speed.
And the price. I rather wait half a second more than have to pay for expensive new tech.
My feelings: It feels like an SD120 trying to replace the floppydisk. SD still reigns due to the cheaper price. Will not happen as the EMMC market/usage segment is different than the SD segment.
Now, if UFS2 is replaced by UFS3, sure, that's a no-brainer.
The formfactors look similar, so there might be an universal reader (that has to support both), but they went their own design way, creating yet another a new interface. So soon i'll have to buy a 21-in-one USB card reader.
