Kickstarter for an open source raspberry pi portable computer

Something I would definitely not have a need for, but it looks pretty cool. They various types of configurations.
They would need to create some software for it as well. Otherwise it’s just a small hard to use computer. If the UI is actually adapted to be usable in this form factor, it would be an amazing product.
I would love to have a new form factor to shake things up. Something small and portable, but without being just a touch screen, devolving into basically a tablet or phone. Something that uses actual physical buttons to do stuff.
Excited to see what they want to do. If it’s just plans to put off the shelf components into a 3D printer case I would be disappointed. There’s plenty of designs for that already and people make their own all the time. But if they take it to the next level, yeah that’s worth funding for sure.
Oh, you actually want to use it?
I thought stuff like this was only meant for YouTubers to put in their backgrounds while they talk about 3D printers.
The emulation community isn’t concerned in the least with the Raspberrypi anymore, practically. Cheap eBay AMD and Intel SBC, demand for Switch and PS3 emulation saw to that, and Anbernic and Retroid.
DIY is fun, but it kills it for me when there’s a $200 product of equivalent specs to what you’re spending night after night in Fusion360 building for the same price and a lot less time.
