oh the semicolon not on the same like as jkl is a no-no for me as a programmer.

How's the linux support? So many of these bargain laptops are listed as Windows devices. I still remember the days of the 'winmodems' so trusting that these devices can run linux well is a tough sell.

I've definitely browsed AliExpress in this category many times, but I expect the quality of these devices leaves something to be desired. And I say this as someone who pre-orderd the Popcorn PocketPC, and considering buying a Pinephone Pro with keyboard case.
