I own a Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook, a ChromeOS 2-in-1 ARM64 tablet.
I had been running ChromeOS, then postmarketOS, which suddenly broke.
Time for some firmware hacking to try and get Ubuntu to run there!
Recently, I migrated the services I host to an enterprise server (a Dell R740) running from my home.
This is the latest significant step in my homelab, where I can both experiment and host production services.
This is a good excuse to make a technical retrospective of how it all started and evolved into what it is today.
Joining Canonical to work on RISC-V support for Ubuntu

Two months ago, on September 1st 2025, I started a new job at Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu.
My role involves working on RISC-V architecture support for the operating system.
It allowed me to learn a lot about Debian and Ubuntu, packaging for and maintaining an operating system,
as well as how the RISC-V architecture and ecosystem work and evolve.
