I have 5 Pine64 devices and they absolutely are more tinkerers. That being said I do use 2 on a daily basis (PineTab2 and PineWatch, even though now moved to Watchy) so they can be reliable. The PineNote though is bulky compared to the reMarkable (I have 1 and 2). I also (sadly for now) didn’t bother with Linux (yet) on the PineNote and only used the stock Android that it came with. It works quite well though and one can still tinker with it.
So… yes if it’s “just” to use I’d suggest reMarkable and if it’s to tinker and not travel much, PineNote.

Nice, thank you for the writeup!
