#2(not mine) was just checking what became of them and this review hit home
I have no use for an android tablet like this, but as soon as they make a PC screen (either laptop or desktop) I'm pretty sure I'd buy one fast! Keep it up folks!

#3About 9 months ago, they promised that they will unlock the bootloader so one can install and run linux on it [1]. Hoping this happens soon.

I would buy one if this comes to fruition.

I turned my Daylight into a PC screen using this app, which worked like a charm: https://superdisplay.app/

#6I've had a DC-1 for a few months now and this review sums it up nicely. The one thing I'd say was missed is that you actually can assign actions to the extra physical buttons with apps like Key Mapper

That only works with Windows?

Unlocking the bootloader by itself is allowed apparently:

The problem is that in order to run linux you'll probably want a kernel with quite a few patches and their DTS, and I haven't found anything for this yet. Android is almost linux so with a bit of effort it's probably not unreachable, but I don't quite have the time for this yet... If someone does it then Linux with an external keyboard would probably work for me as well, there was someone who did it with the remarkable (it's already linux but they ran standard X11 on it), but the refresh rate was a bit too sluggish, something like the daylight computer would probably do nicely!

There seem to be equivalent for linux (not tested)

That's an interesting idea! I'm a bit wary of latency if this all goes over wifi, but probably worth a try.

not an expert, but i think that’s already available?
