There is a new Android brand in Town...Called Linshof. They are cutting corners to deliver high specs with mid range price.

Too good to be true?

Wow looks like a bullcrap goldmine!
using someone's archlinux screenshot...

take a reaaaallll good look at both pics side by side...they are the same desktop....exactly the same in fact.
hell...they didn't even bother to change the icons...let alone the date...

Total crap.
Good find Dave...[sigh] ...
more and more there seems to be these frauds popping up.

Let's talk about this picture and how much wrong there is here:



On the top, that's the GNOME3 system tray, which is only confimed by someone on Reddit sharing someone else's GNOME3 setup on Arch Linux, the picture of which Linshof stole. On the desktop, there's a couple of instances of Conky (clock, system monitor, TODO list). Nothing wrong so far.

But look at the bottom, past Docky and the notifications (which we'll get back to). That's a 2nd system tray. Why in sam hill would you need 2 system trays? The bottom one has a few options, but all of those options can be done with GNOME3's dash alone. Also, let's not talk about the extra clock in the bottom system tray that shouldn't be there. That's pretty fishy on its own, but moving on.

There's this picture at the bottom: https://www.flickr.com/photos/linshof/15683430210/?rb=1

That looks like Windows 8 Metro to me. I have never seen someone make a GNOME3 extension that changes the dash to a Metro-like ordeal (sidenote: if someone has, I haven't seen anyone masochistic enough to install that on their desktop).

So far, it's looking like a mishmash, a collage, of things that resemble things that are popular in one way or another, so we can pretty much deduce that this thing's fake.

I get that they advertized this "product" to have a high-end screen, but why include "high-end screen" in your specs? That's weird to me and would seem like something most tech companies wouldn't do.

Also, their webpage is a Tumblr page. Idk of any legitimate tech companies that would make a Tumblr page to put their business out there.

EDIT: I said I would get back to the notifications. Notice that there's a notification that tells you what the weather's like. Why would you need that if you could use a Conky script or even a GNOME3 extension to do exactly that?

Shipment of fail?

A (supposedly) Europe-based company looking to ship their product to Europe after shipping to Asia?

Welp, advertising their fake product as a Chinese knock-off is one way to make it more realistic, I suppose.
