I might, if it ever ships. And, is in a bare usable state.

Which is why I said "supporting", not "using".

The thing booted with a base GUI a year ago.

If it can handle even a basic task, such as a simple ereader, so many hackers could buy it, use it, and also improve it.

They aren't even taking orders yet.

Should I ... what?

Anyhow, I agree with youe general statement, just not about this paricular device.

Join the development? Spread the word? Donate to the operating systems running on it?

AFAIK PineNote can handle basic tasks, even if it might not be stable yet: https://www.pine64.org/2022/01/15/january-update-more-news/.

Also you can order it: https://pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/.

Which is why your advice was impractical, not practical.

Is did not suppose to be a practical advice but more a suggestion to help the project develop.
