Linux on a Q1

Posted on 18 August 2006, Last updated on 08 January 2015 by

Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun has been playing with Ubuntu on his Q1 and came up with the same problem as others did. Touchscreen.

Linux is one of the things that Thoughtfix will be looking at on his eo. Thoughtfix has done a lot of work with Linux and I plan to keep in touch with him on his progress. I’ve also got some support available from Epios who are also interested!

Its going to take some time but I feel quite confident that Linux on an Origami is going to be achievable and, importantly, useful!

If you’re interested in Linux on UMPC’s , there’s a Linux section over at Origamiportal.com forums where we’re tracking as much as we can on the subject.
