Depends on what they settle on, especially for screen sharing. Many downscale content for people with weaker connections.

I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I’m aware it’s a bit old and is ARM so I’m thinking of buying a Pi 5.

The Pi 5 lacks a H264 hardware encoder/decoder, making it unsuitable for most streaming/transcoding purposes.

The EU store ships from the EU with warranty, support, etc. for quite a hefty premium. I ordered from the global store which ships from Hong Kong. Paid ~500€ a year ago (including taxes).

The display looks great and mine doesn’t have the stuck pixel or the buggy lines issue you experienced

They have since fixed that.

though I do have very noticeable ghosting artifacts

Unfortunately just the nature of the technology. If you’re just reading, DU4:3 works the best, for manga I use the full G:4 mode with screen refresh for every page flip enabled.

I wrote some custom profiles for each (Default, Book, Manga, Notes, Notes (Landscape) which I have on my desktop, I can send you the scripts if you want.

Couldn’t find a good way to use browsers on it yet since they all smooth scroll instead of jumping in fixed intervals.

I left mine running over night with KOReader open, Nextcloud in background, no suspend and it took 20 hours and 10 minutes to go from 100% to 10%.

As @poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org wrote, there is a pretty significant phantom drain where it loses about 15% per day when suspended.

I have used the same tip for a year and it’s still fine. It also comes with 2 tip replacement and all of the generic pens for EMR screens work on the Pinenote.

Can’t say much about the battery life but I’m going to leave it running once it’s fully charged and report back.

I have one, I wrote a small review for it last year: https://domistyle.gitlab.io/pinenote-2024/ (enable autoplay so the videos play).

You can test Xournal++ and KOReader on any Linux desktop, it’s what works best on the PineNote right now.

They also have an active Matrix group where the main developers are present.

So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge.

If you drop the “cutting edge” condition instead, you could grab a Fairphone, which ticks all the other checkboxes.

Unless you game on your phone, you won’t notice a thing between modern high end and low end phones as long as they put enough RAM in.

Samsung is the opposite of everything you mentioned besides cutting edge.

I can’t speak for client capabilities on Apple devices, but what’s your server hardware? CPU or GPU transcoding?

I have an AMD GPU in my server and have no issues transcoding AV1 and H265 for my lesser capable clients.

You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.

Sir, this is a /c/selfhosted.
