This is a really interesting comment with which I have a lot of sympathy but disagree in large part. I too yearn for an updated ‘home computer’ but with powerful modern hardware! Firstly, I don’t think the PI’s can be seen to have failed. I’m not close to their use in schools but I do think that for hardware to be useful on this context if needs to engage with the modern computing world and that includes all the ‘messiness’ of Linux etc. Secondly, I think the Pi Pico W - which can drive a display using one of the cores (see link) - has the potential to be the basis of a system close to what you describe. https://picockpit.com/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-pico-video-output/ https://picockpit.com/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-pico-video-o... I wasn’t aware of the Commander x16 which looks interesting but I was a bit disappointed to see the 6502 based CPU. In the 2020s I think we need to be using a modern architecture and that means Arm or RISC-V. Finally, the Colour Maximite is also close to the sort of thing you’re talking about. https://geoffg.net/maximite.html https://geoffg.net/maximite.html
