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
They do? I’ve run everything from Debian to Arch on mine with zero issues.
@Sailor_jets website says different.
My guy, you have zero clue about what you are talking about. Fuck the website. All Linux distros are the same except for the package manager. If Ubuntu works on something then so will pretty much everything else that runs a modern kernel.

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.
