I also like ANBERNIC RG28XX and PinePhone/PinePhone Pro with or without the keyboard/battery extension.

ANBERNIC RG40XX H with Knulli is nice too.

Yeah I love my steam deck. Works great in a usb c dock as well.

what is your goal? My immediate thought was the Steam Deck but looking at the examples you're looking for something else.

A minipc or phone like handheld that can be used for Linux. Not for gaming. More like a full Linux phone with control.

Not one of the ones you listed has a cellular module.

not anywhere in my sentence did I say I wanted it… ;)

I think one of those is sim capable though actually! But regardless, I meant what I said minipc or phone like, not cellular capable

That's some wiered/cool stuff I have ever heard off ! I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at but somehow I want one of those !

That's the kind of cool niche stuff that is missing here on Lemmy !

Um, my phone?

You should update the list with Linux phones.

I don’t know that I’ve used enough handheld Linux devices to say. The only major one was I had Debian on my Surface Go 1. Power management never worked quite right - after a few suspends, I’d get these weird graphics glitches and have to reboot.

Also, I kind of hated the keyboard- it wasn’t very sturdy and often flexed, causing accidental trackpad clicks.

I still have the device, but when I need a portable Linux machine, I just go to my Thinkpad these days, which other than installing the backports kernel for Wi-Fi support and then adjusting the modprobe.d entry because it was Realtek pretty much just goes brrrr - even my desktop gave more of fuss, as I used to be in a room without ethernet and needed a card that worked with Windows, Linux, and Hackintosh (from before I got rid of my Windows install and my Hackintosh SSD conked out, leading me to switch to virtualization).

I have a whole bunch of these:

  • DevTerm
  • uConsole
  • GameShell
  • BeepBerry
  • PocketCHIP
  • PICOmputer 28

Non-Linux:

  • Hand386
  • Book 8088
  • Forth Deck
  • T-Deck

I'm looking at getting a couple more as well. Honestly I don't have much use for any of them but my favourite and the one I have used practically the most is my DevTerm. I love the style, the screen, its just a really fun little device.
