So about 2 months ago I made this post about looking for an iPad replacement that runs Linux. I said I wasn't in a rush, but after thinking about it ever since and seeing the Minisforum V3 go on sale for just $1000, I pulled the trigger.
My impressions are still very new (I have used it for a total of 2 hours at this point), but I'm super happy so far. Installed Fedora 40 and almost everything works out of the box (including a Wacom MPP stylus). As mudkip mentioned in this blog, the volume buttons don't work when the keyboard is detached and auto-rotation doesn't work. The former isn't a big deal and the latter doesn't affect me in the slightest, but I can confirm those issues are still present on a stock Fedora install.
Anyway, there's not a lot of information about this tablet running Linux out there, is there anything anyone wants me to test or any questions I can answer?
lmao i am not
Then I shouldn't have had to share that link with you which will solve all your issues, right? I'm sure you know all the Linux things from your sarcasm, and it's the Hardware's fault.
What crawled in your coffee and died this morning? It's attitudes like this that stop people from wanting to switch to linux. Someone considering it will scroll through, see you being a dickhead, and go: Well...if this is what the community is like, idk if I want to try linux....
Check yourself pal. You've got a shit attitude, and you're doing no one any favours.
I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it's literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it's irrelevant when I'm talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.
I didn't make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I'm here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing's fucking awesome and I wanted to share.
