     @samebchase it's very cute and chonky :blobpats: it will take a lot of getting used to (small ortholinear keyboard with lots of layers, Sway tiling window manager, etc.) but i'm excited to put it through its paces

     Stream of consciousness:

     reform-handbook opens the Reform Handbook 2nd Edition, not the Reform Pocket Handbook

     Are there keyboard controls for volume? 🤔

     NVMe was installed but comes unconfigured by default. Might mount it as /home

     The blog post from 2022 lists a lot of "preinstalled" software that did not come preinstalled on my device https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2022-06-20-introducing-mnt-pocket-reform.html

     Shipping times vary for a very wide variety of reasons, but as a data point, I ordered my Pocket Reform on 2024-09-19 and received it on 2025-01-22.

     Changing the Pocket Reform keyboard backlight with Hyper+Trackball for brightness and hue is very satisfying

     @annika I can’t tell from the pictures or listed specs on the site. Are those full-size keys on the keyboard? (I feel I got a little bit burned by the Clockworks DevTerm by not realizing just how tiny and cramped the keys are.)

     @BrianEnigma They are a bit smaller, yeah. I wouldn't say it's cramped but it's an adjustment (sorry for not having a ruler handy)

     Lagrange running on the MNT Pocket Reform. That was easy!

     @m0xee Yep still Sway, lots of keybinds to remember but I'm trying to stick with it.

     Lagrange looks amazing as usual! 🤩

     Is that still sway? 🤔

     @m0xee Ah yeah, the docs say it's "waybar" but I haven't dug into it yet

     Ah, it's a custom bar — that is why it looks unusual to me.
     I'm using a built-in bar — I use colour emoji for workspace names so they are more descriptive, but seeing colour Firefox icon still surprised me 😄
     I'm using sway on most of my machines — it's not for everyone perhaps, but once you learn or remap the shortcuts and bind the software you use most often to the keys of your preference, it gets quite comfy.
