Great,

• an opensource hardware architecture
• a Linux kernel, no X-window
• a console web browser
• Cuis with more Dr. Geo alike applications
• a case with two folding e-ink screens and electronic pen

That will be a nice start for an open source dynabook ;-)

I have used Alpine Linux (Busybox; musl rather than libc; very light-weight) with Cuis and NetSurf browser on LePotato (46 bit arm) without X.

Not official, but I have heard of a port of Alpine Linux to RISCV.

I think of this as using a "shim OS" -- just enough to avoid writing device drivers.

I am _very_ fond of this idea.

We might think of dusting off the Scamper code and (re)doing the web browser in Cuis.

Life is short, but much fun to be had! :)
