Does anyone know if there is an easy way to mirror the screen in Linux as you can with Android?

in one of the videos, it implied that linux video out was possible, but not dual display. I don't know what resolutions might be possible for this.

I was thinking about using Miracast until I could get the HDMI cable. A Google search tells me that Linux does potentially have the ability but successful implementation appears to be rare.

In the CES interviews Planet Computers team keep mentioning the full retail price of the Gemini but they are still offerings lower prices as Perks. I thought that after CES launch they would stop the lower price option. Perhaps they are waiting for the initial batch to be shipped before they can increase the price.

I think the current price is very reasonable compared to any mid to high range unlocked/carrier-free phone.

I backed it as soon as it appeared in a finished form at CES just in case they decided to close the discounted indiegogo option. They might go to a direct sales model anyway to avoid paying fees to Indiegogo?

I'm also hoping that sales will be sufficient to make it worth while to continue making them for a couple of years, and to make a superior second generation model.
