@qkall @linuxphones your pinephone has a cooling fan with a light like a gaming pc?

@qkall @linuxphones that's awesome, it runs arch! I thought pinephones had manjaro or ubuntu touch or something. I am seriously considering buying one now

For most it's not daily drivable .. I'm not that person but I went in with a very well tempered expectation.... I am a prior owner of a openmoko free runner so... I know true pain.

Wait, how's it got a keyboard? What are all the modifications here? This is nuts.

I'm pretty sure this is the device John Connor pulls out in Terminator 2 to hack the ATM machine.

@qkall @linuxphones @PINE64

is the fan really needed? as in temperature wise? or is just for fun?

Needed? Hmm, most folks don't have a fan for it... But for me, I see good improvements on the battery and obviously heat. Keeps it around 120 F (49 C) vs 150F (66 C) + without the fan
