What method did you use for install? Ubuntu shows a snap version in their store, its not official and maintained by Ubuntu not us. We have found it has a fair few issues that aren't present in other packages.
I would reccomend downloading from flathub which you would need to setup manually on Ubuntu. Otherwise our appimage on our website https://prismlauncher.org
We do also have a third party build that is more stable then the snap for Ubuntu on makedeb.

Yes, we are planning a qml rewrite, this will likely take a while to fully release, it's not next version since it would basically be an entire rewrite if I understand our plans correctly. This means that we would have significant changes in the ui and hopefully for the better, I agree the current is subpar.
I'll be working on rewriting the website and documentation framework before 10.0 then I'll start some mockups for our new qml design.
There's a couple other neat things that have been discussed that may be possible with a qml rewrite (no plans yet) such as compiling to mobile. Main benefits are responsiveness and consistency that can be achieved as well as cleaning up many things from the aging codebase since it would likely be a full rewrite.

the pen I bought supports tilt. The one starlabs sells does not.
MPP is the protocol and has different versions like how Bluetooth or WiFi do. MPP 2.0 has existed for a while it isn't new.
pins, its also a gravity stand with weak magnets so it doesnt exactly attach super well to the tablet.
im pretty surs that codeweavers crossover still works for microsoft365. atleast I used it with office365 last year without major issue.
uh no, mpp 2.0 is the pen protocol. tilt was supported day 1.
nah it doesn't really get that hot, I use it a bit in bed to watch movies and I haven't found it uncomfortable. Its currently winter here though so the passive may not be as great in summer. Anything that's going to heat it up a lot though your prolly going to be using it at a desk.
right yeah my bad, all the io is on the right this one doesn't have a daughter board. The daughter board is for their other laptop. I did buy their pen but its pretty average it works on other tablets but I replaced it with an mp0p 2.0 pen
any mpp pen should support pressure. mpp 2.0 will have tilt and such. personally I have a lenovo precision 2.
Uh, the refresh rate is 60hz the gamut is listed on the specification section. The ram is soldered as it could not be increased it is 16gb which is the max supported by the n200.
main board, screen, battery, daughter board and all the parts can be swapped, they sell them on their website.
I agree the keyboard marketing sucks and the keyboard itself isn't great either. Granted its nice to have a cheaper option without the keyboard, but in current Linux tablet state you probably still want it.
The specs are pretty decent for a tablet and the price of the device. Can handle most tablet tasks and non graphically intensive. I use it for programming and arts and anything needing more power I offload the compile to my PC.
the wacom pens on wacom tablets are solid but plenty of other pens support force/angle and those do work with the starlite.
Hey, I own one of these. For drawing its pretty solid and most software can run on it. The device support MPP 1.51 and 2.0, they sell a 1.51 pen but its quite expensive for what it is. The digitizer isn't amazing and I have found external wacom screens to be better but considering the price of the starlite is about the same (when I bought it) as an only drawing tab I went with the starlite.
Performance is decent, I was quite surprised how managable the n200 is. Personally I use it as a study device and it handles 40 Firefox tabs and 15-20 windows just fine. Only thing is that gnome does not support triple buffering yet so overview animation is slightly laggy on the 3k screen, however this is less on the 2k version and fixed with the triple buffer PR.
The screen itself comes in either 3k or 2k. The 3k screen was only the first batch and the second+ batch is 2k. Screen is 60hz and I believe 300 nits.
To get buttons mappable on the pen device currently you have to use a custom libwacom entry. I have a PR for that on the github.
The Tablet itself is very solid the main complaint I would have is the keyboard, its quite mushy and bounces as it doesn't have much structure. Its alright but not amazing.
Realistic battery is 4-6hr under usage and 9-13 with light usage and ~2 days in full sleep.

I currently do this with mailbox .org, I spend 4 euros a month for 2 accounts (3+1). This allows us to use the same domain, share storage and sync calendars. Mailbox also stacks up pretty well against proton in security and privacy just doesn't have a free plan and some of the little extras. It also supports catchall and full filtering if you really wanted to save the extra euro and use one account.
No I think its just cheaper, if it was stronger you normally would have a metal plate or the entire base would be metal. The only time I have seen those fail was actually the hinges themselves and not the attachment points. If the metal plate or base somehow got severely damaged I doubt it would cost much more to repair and its still unlikely to damage anything else.
Yeah this is not a fun one, I have done repairs and now do retail this issue is insanely common. Pretty much all budget laptops have this threaded into cheap plastic and I have had many customers devices hinges fail within 4 months in retail.
From what I can tell you also got quite lucky the hinge snapped on the base and not the screen. I've had a couple customers unlucky enough to have it snap on the screen and shatter the glass and or LCD.
The cases where it doesn't completely destroy the screen or base you can normally use epoxy glue, melting or something similar. But that still is normally a temporary solution it will probably break again. If that can't be done or a more permanent solution is needed, I've found that repairs with a metal plate and bolt seem to last I've also seen some people just use an L shaped metal bracket and not close the laptop again...
Regardless its a really annoying thing, I try to purchase and recommend devices with Metal frames (base and screen). Unfortunately even mid range laptops are now following this trend of plastic screwed hinges.
That's fair, I haven't tried it on low end/older hardware. I only just found performance good enough in the 46 release so I've only tested on my high and middle end system. I have some n200 hardware arriving soon and I might give it a go on that.
Advanced privacy and security I agree with and that's the main reason I don't use it daily personally. I think better extension support would be a good step in enhancing that even if they keep the base simple. There is also non trivial issues such as fingerprinting which is going to be a lot easier on a browser with so little users.
Firefox does currently have a few more options and I don't see Gnome Web getting that ootb any time soon. Granted half of firefox's options these days is to disable telemetry from Mozilla, the actual user exposed options isn't huge (outside of about:config). Gnome does have gsettings which could serve a similar usage as already seen with enabling web extensions.
I don't think it will be mainstream any time soon not until Linux is or they support other oses. But I want to be optimistic on how it will be for Linux usage especially with the tablet and mobile scene starting to take shape and Gnome Web being one of the most viewport responsive browsers.
Cross platform and popular I agree with. Having it in a state where it could be the default for gnome distros would help with popularity. However I think at least in latest versions its pretty comparable to other browsers at least Firefox. Main issue is there isn't as much extensions that work with it. Considering the pace it is improving though I think it won't be long till it could be viable alternative at least on Linux, maybe it might get ported some day idk.
WebKit does exist for Linux, Gnome Web has been quite a nice experience however it still lacks support for most extensions (however some Firefox extensions do work). The real world performance is still a bit lacking but its close to Firefox on paper and as it continues to update I will probably swap to it. For now its a nice way for me to test if my websites will break on macs (spoiler, WebKit still lacks some stuff).
This was patched in experimental 2 days ago. I downloaded update as soon as it was live and I have almost finished the DLC.
