the gemini device (keyboard, 4G, supporting android/linux dual boot, mediatek x27 SoC) is
shipping. there's a debian rom for it, but it is very early days and the unaccelerated
video is a real problem. it is still my hope to give tde a spin on it, and apparently if
3D isn't used it's quick enough to be nearly usable. am wondering the extent to
which tdm and tde needs 3D support. if it's none at all or very little, i might try to
install it from the debiam arm repos when mine arrives monday (after rooting it and
installing the stretch rom).
anybody here know?

Not too many 3D calls if any, I think except explicitely 3D
applications.
I have successfully used TDE on Asus A2500L with SiS graphics chip
which under Linux does not offer 3D acceleration at all, only 2D.

very good to hear. the default arrangement is lxqt and kwin. in case anyone is interested,
there's a wiki on the linux development here:
https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps/wiki/DebianTP
having last coded (poorly and not much of it) for KSE-1.x, it's a joy to watch the
guys on irc who just got their gadgets and are going crazy writing stuff to make
everything work. (not tde specifically, but linux and all the hardware, particularly
fully-functioning video.) i think tde with a little fiddling -- large icons and a couple
of keyboard shortcurs (such as to raise kicker) -- might work really well, and the idea of
a linux/tde machine not much bigger than the big iphone seems really cool to me.

Hi,
TDE (and kde3) can run perfectly well even on VESA or framebuffer, so I see no reasons for
it to be slow on that.
I even made TDE run on a chinese arm netbook, with a dual core arm A9 WM8880 cpu with
desktop effects running
on llvmpipe (cpu renderer) completely flawlessy. The only place where you'll see some
stutter is if you play video.
This device look really cool, and will probably order one sooner or later!

TDE running on a Pi 3 here - note *very* well but usable. I use KDRC to
connect to it (it's monitoring things in a shed).

how you installed it on it?
Can you please add instructions in the wiki.
What you mean by "not very well"?

I tested it on Pi2, but it was too slow.
I used the Pi documentation for installing debian and the standard TDE
process to install TDE.
Basically you need a vfat partition too boot from. I finally set up root
over NFS to be able to play easily.
I hope this helps

Actually *I* didn't exactly do it. I installed Q4OS 1.6 which exists as an
image for ARM and already includes TDE.
