An ostensibly complete #Guix System #MNTReform rk3588 configuration:
https://codeberg.org/vagrantc/mnt-reform-guix-config/src/branch/main/config-mnt-reform.scm
caveats:
It could use workarounds from https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools in particular to get ethernet working more reliably.
It does build a full working u-boot image, but does not actually install it directly, that requires a manual step:
sudo dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/sdX seek=64
I took a leap of faith and installed it directly to eMMC and was lucky enough to not regret it. :)

Made a #MNTReform kernel for #Guix ... and used my MNT Reform2 rk3588 to build the kernel and successfully booted to #Debian !
With 32GB of ram, 8 moderately fast arm64 cores and an NVMe disk, it seems quite viable to run Guix.
Probably still missing some functionality, but the screen, mouse, keyboard, ethernet all work, at least!
Thanks @josch for organizing those patches so nicely for the reform-debian-packages repository!

How have I never heard about this glorious machine before? And its bigger brother, the #MNTReform. https://shop.mntre.com/

I've considered the trackpoint keyboard. I don't *love* the trackpoint, but it's better than a trackpad.
A trackball would be RAD. That's part of why the #MNTReform is so appealing to me.
Guys, I have a problem. I'm confessing this in the name of transparency, accountability, and openness.
I just can't stop thinking about the MNT Reform.
That chonkbook is the stuff of my dreams, and I can't figure out why. It's slower than my pinebook pro, but everything about it (other than processor power and battery life, probably, lol) is just amazing. :D

The MNT Reform and Pocket Reform laptops already feature modular, repairable, open hardware designs. Now the makers are also considering ways to re-use some of those modules for desktops, servers or other form factors. https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform/updates/an-interview-with-lukas-about-the-future
Crowd SupplyAn Interview with Lukas About the FutureAs the Crowd Supply campaign is coming to an end, we interviewed Lukas F. Hartmann, lead engineer and electronic designer of the MNT Pocket Reform, about how he sees the future of MNT Research and what comes next in terms of development and manufacturing.

The MNT Pocket Reform is a mini-laptop with a 7 inch display, open hardware and software, and a modular design that will let you swap out the default quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor board for another module in the future. Crowdfunding is expected to start soon with prices starting around $900. https://spectrum.ieee.org/mnt-pocket-reform
