Is it actually open source though? The repository description may be outdated then, but it currently says this:

> This is the latest version of the internal repository from Pebble Technology providing the software to run on Pebble watches. Proprietary source code has been removed from this repository and it will not compile as-is. This is for information only.

This just hasn't been updated since it was forked from the initial OSS release from Google, I've started a discussion on the firmware Discord to update it.

Which Pebble are you bringing back? I ask because Pebble 2 was the sweet spot for me with a heart rate monitor but the heart rate monitor is not in this repo.

The HRM aspect is mostly a small binary blob that ought to be fairly straightforward to re-integrate. The far larger issue is the lack of a Bluetooth stack.

For those curious, you can still buy the Pebble 2 online via BestBuy, Walmart, Amazon, etc.

Did the Pebble Time 2 ever get completed? Did anyone receive one? I was really looking forward to it...

It did not. There's a number of prototype units in existence, but that's it.

There's a lot of Gentoo hate in this thread. I think that's funny when you consider that the most-used Linux distribution on desktop/laptop computers is based on Gentoo. [1]

Google chose engineers for ChromeOS, and those engineers chose Gentoo. CoreOS also uses portage IIRC. Gentoo isn't for everyone, but I think there's probably a correlation between people who have used Gentoo (or similar) at some point in their life and people who know Linux thoroughly.

ChromeOS originally was built upon Ubuntu, but Gentoo made more sense when starting to build for a rather diverse set of hardware, various flavours of ARM etc.

I stayed at Stonehenge for about 3 months last summer, great place. First hacker house I'd ever lived at (and I'll admit I wasn't sure about the idea at first), but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
