    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Fortunately I know that some guy at microsoft isn't specifically looking at me, one person out of millions of people who use win 10. I'm all for privacy but let's not make a common regularly used feature a bigger deal than it actually is. The second you log on the internet you are exposing your...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Windows 10's "hey cortana" feature is amazing though. No typing, just natural talking. It will search the web for stuff and it's not just limited to local. You can also about calculation and exchange rates on top of the entirety of the internet at your voice. For example I was trying to find the...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Having a package manager is definitely awesome. I tried a live Linux mint image a couple years ago and everything was in one place to download. Steam, Firefox, ect.

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    And I'd like to add that various desktop environments put your programs in their own sections on the start menu based on what the program is. I'll use peppermint OS as an example

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    I would say chrome os is the easiest overall and most people don't need anything more than chrome os since the web covers pretty much every typical task except for games and that leaves people who must use high end productivity software

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    You said windows 10 is harder than Linux though, is it really? Well I guess xfce is more straight forward so I kinds answered my own question. But at the same time the search bar on windows 10 is amazing.

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    I don't want an OS to be a "challenge" in the sense it's a chore to even use it, I meant more like learning some of the command line since a lot of Linux users swear by it.

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Even if I don't know how to code I like to think I am still one of the target markets for the pyra. I like messing with devices and with how open the pyra is I could go nuts and do all sorts of stuff. It would suit me better than a GPD win because I'd rather have a full size laptop with a...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    If it were up to be I'd be rocking out to Xubuntu instead of windows 10 but game support....but with the specs I'm wanting I guess performance difference would be very negligible anyways...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Old atoms from the dark netbook days and atoms now are on completely different levels. Atom cherry trails are pretty decent for what they are. They are cheap and get the job done and can run plenty of games within reason. Performance is nice for daily tasks as long as windows is clean (I had to...

    Planet Computers : Gemini - Psion Returns

    The lack of mouse input I also see as a potential problem and the keyboard doesn't flip all the way around so the Android side of things will have many problems arise since you are forced to use it in landscape and holding it by the screen for games would be awkward

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    ? I never needed convincing to get a pyra. I just asked one question and that was more to get a consensus. I've done my research on the his Regarding "competition" nothing like the GPD win existed during the Pandora's time and there was no ultra cheap windows tablets you could buy and have a...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    I guess so, but then again there's also been much worse fiasco's on crowdfunding than simple delays. I'm just afraid the pyra won't even reach the exposure the Pandora got because like I said, there's competition that will suit most people a lot better than what the pyra is at much lower prices...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Well there's also indiegogo which I hear you basically just need the idea to begin, I just lumped the two together. I think indiegogo would have been an excellent idea from the start, there's a lot of people who want a device with the amount of freedom,. functionality and versatility the pyra...

    Viability of using a Pyra as a hybrid/main computer?

    Slightly off topic but since you brought up the release: I really hope the Pyra comes out soon with how much competition it has now, if I was an early pre orderer I'd be getting squirmy. Pandora had the advantage of literally nothing like it existing but GPD over here is about to release their...
