World's First Fully Modular Gaming Handheld!

invidious.fdn.fr World's First Fully Modular Gaming Handheld!

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) t...

Is there device support for Linux?
- 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

  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.
- I would think so given that the mainboard runs well with Linux but I'm not about everything else
