I'd like a cyberdeck that uses a Linux tablet as its display. So I could dock it and use a good small mechanical keyboard, maybe a low profile Keychron, or use it on the go. An Android tablet would also do, since there's a lot that can be done with Termux, but I'd much rather have a "real" Linux device. Seeing a keyboard like this one[1] makes me wish I could get some sort of origami fold out dock for a tablet, that would be so cool I'd have to wear shades indoors.

I've been using this as my setup for two years, but I've been calling it more humbly an ergonomic mobile computer ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/ ) , not a cyberdeck. I'm aiming more for a boring everyday setup to hopefully own less electronics compared to the virtualism/maximalism/tacticool stuff I see in the cyberdeck world. The other thing is I hesitate around maximizing around personal computing - I think we need setups friends can walk up to and use when appropriate.

Now that Raspberry PIs are back in stock, I'm actually working on this concept using a Wacom One screen. The RasPad v3 isn't too far from it: https://raspad.com/products/raspadv3 https://raspad.com/products/raspadv3 but touch only, no stylus.

I am really close to buying the astro slide for this reason. they plan to support debian, and I'm just waiting for the day that they say debian is fully supported to buy one.
