Hey Bob,

You mean you're doubtful whether they would refund your pledge for the Astro? Because as I understand it they should, the campaign still lasts 36 days before it's "locked" (which is why I immediately asked for a refund).

So you own both the Gemini (two, even ) and the Cosmo? How do you experience their support? Would you say the devices are finished (both hardware and software wise)? I'm very curious

Well yes, from what I understand the Mediatek SoC is closed source, so actual mainline kernel on that phone is dream (like on any other Android device). You would have to use libhybris and therefore rely on closed source/blob drivers, old kernel versions etcetera. It's like trying to make mainline linux run on a Samsung Galaxy S20 (again, as far as I understand ).

I fully agree! You know what, if they would simply start a new Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaign with the single goal of making Linux run on their devices so that they would become actual pocket pc's with phone functionality, I would back it in a second (given that I would own one of their devices )
