This is great, thank you.

WRT 20GB - I'd just assumed it had a microSD slot. Your comment led me down a spiral, to find a guy who pulled the v1 device apart and soldered in socket for one. That's extra frustrating then that the electronics are already there, but the socket + hole is not. [1]

WRT pen - yes, I splashed out for the 'extra good' pen for the Samsung, and was glad I did. The bundled pen was serviceable, but things like the ersatz eraser, and thicker / heftier feel, made it worth while. When ogling the remarkable2 shop page I've kind of assumed I'd get the better pen at the same time, so it's good to have further confirmation on that gut feel.

Sync - sounds like that SyncThing project I found earlier, if it's still viable, might be a better option for us Linux users. If the data is coming across as SVG's or similar then I guess any native apps (Krita, etc) should work, but how good the interoperability on that actually is ... is not well blogged about. (A doubly niche market, I fear.)

The rM1 I think has the capability to solder in a socket but it is not clear to me that the rM2 is similarly modifiable. The low storage and the lack of support for external storage via the usb-c port really make things unnecessarily complicated. There is a rm2-pogo project that hopes to use the built-in pogo pins to add support for external accessories such as keyboard and storage but it is still in progress

I haven't checked out the remarkable-syncthing solution you mentioned in a different comment but it seems like a good idea.
