I have been running Linux on a X1 based laptop for the last 12 - 18 months, as my personal laptop . This was mainly as a learning experience but I do use it for real work (code, PCB design, web stuff). Originally with the Ubuntu concept and then Arch Linux ARM. While the out of the box experience is rough (varies make / model), with some work (patching, compiling kernels, pulling firmware from exe's) the experience for me is usable. Most stuff works, no encoders, no AV1 decode, no camera or AI accelerator. If you monitor the patches going into the kernel, things are going from strength to strength (I am excited for 6.18). My real hope is that allot of the software work carries over to the X2, and better thermals, it gets hot far too easily. Aside, ARM in the workspace (including Apple) is all fun and games up until you need to build out a Windows VM image for a 20 year old delphi project.


Rapid unplanned disassembly.

Hopefully the ground equipment is not too damaged (unlikely) and block 3 has more success.


I'm pretty sure it's over for that launch pad for a very long time.


That wasn't a launch pad - that was a test stand used to test the Startship proper without the rest of the system.


No Golang support :(


This is reckless for the manufactures and operators involved, the manor this information was released was also reckless. Poor show all round.


Whats the UK number?


Give me a minute.


any news?


Really sorry, we're having some issues!
