Project I've been working on that I'm very passionate about. A fully upgradeable gaming handheld where you can upgrade the battery, mainboard (cpu), ram, storage by utilising Frameworks modular components. I will be selling it soon as a DIY kit for those that want another way to reuse (or buy new) their Framework components.
Can be currently upgraded to a Ryzen 7840U mainboard and a 61Wh battery for maximum performance.
Components used in video:
Intel 1260p mainboard
16GB ram
512gb ssd
55Wh Battery
dual speakers
7 inch FHD touchscreen
High speed WIFI & Bluetooth
Looking at the thumbnail, I’m assuming they’re using the guts from a framework laptop: https://frame.work/linux
Of course, that doesn’t say anything about the display or controls, but it’s a solid maybe.
It is a framework mainboard. The display is almost certainly connected via displayport on one of the framework usb-c ports, so that should be fine, and I’m pretty sure they mention the game pads are Bluetooth. There should be no issues running Linux on this.
@thejevans @DoomBot5 crazy to think that popos and other Linux distributions don’t run on Framework

@Sailor_jets show us a video, please?

They most likely do, and without any problems. They’re just not *officially* supported; you can’t ask for support if there’s an issue.
They officially supported the two largest user distros. Beyond that, there are community supported distros. I can’t imagine it would be too hard to get other supported ones on there if someone wanted to maintain it.
