I used to carry a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard (clamshell design) that I would ssh into a server to code with (when not using Termux itself as the coding environment).
Again, it was cool, but most everyone else had laptops.
(It’s my experience that typing on a smartphone / tablet allows one to put it down a moment & “have a thought” without feeling the “default need” to be always looking back at a monitor, which I’ve come to find occasionally distracting)
In essence, imo you guys are onto something. Will probably give Pinephone a go sometime this Summer to test out as a longform electronic writing device
They don't make it anymore, sadly.
I loved that it held my 7 inch tablet and worked with it wirelessly, and that the hinge was stiff enough to hold it up as I used it on my lap or standing on the subway. If only the keyboard was weighted it would have been stable to put on a table without the kickstand in the back, but that was a fine compromise given everything else it delivered for not a lot more money.
I hope your Pinephone experiment goes well. I'm optimistic for them.
Have a feeling with fashions repeating & all something like the Nexus 7 + BT Keyboard (full-functionality lite-tech) may someday make a comeback
Really like the idea of a low-cost pc / tablet that’s always in the backpack
And thanks!
