Actually, TDE on an EOMA68
EOMA68 is a standard. you may be referring to the first computer card in the series, called the EOMA68-A20.
could be interesting, though I haven't really looked into what would be needed to precompile an image for it.
done already. tested the armhf packages - they installed and worked perfectly on an already-prepared debian/testing rootfs i had around. the speed and startup time was impressive.
i am considering deploying TDE on the 800-or-so cards going out on the crowdsupply campaign.
This sounds great!
if however qt5 or systemd is to become an integral part of TDE i would reconsider that decision. qt5 because it so heavy compared to qt3 that i would be deeply concerned about it over-burdening these low-power devices (qt3 is extremely light-weight), and systemd because of both the resource over-utilisation as well as the lack of accountability, security risks, design flaws and the many other factors which are well-known and do not need to be discussed further.
This is not in our roadmap at all. The prelimiary work I've done to see if we can gain Wayland support centers around moving drawing to GTK3; Qt4+ are a non-starter in my mind for exactly the same reasons you mention above.
If there is anything I can do to help get TDE onto these systems please let me know!
