So it's a Hackintosh?

Looks like Windows with a very MacOS-esque theme rather than a proper hackintosh, the screenshot says Windows 11 IoT Enterprise.

An ebook reader from Framework would be awesome....

Or a printer... Or a phone ... Or a router ...

No one will make a printer because the margins are so low. They are like the FMCG [0] of the tech world

Wow, 64 GB of RAM. I'm really tempted to build a modern computer into an HP Jornada case. I really miss that form factor. It's pocketable yet has a usable keyboard.

You mean one of the wider ones? Look a little like cyberdecks.

For people curious, it looks like it is MyDockFinder. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1787090/MyDockFinder/

I previously had a pretty good experience with it before moving to Linux.

I wish the same could be done with the 11 inch MacBook airs, still my favorite laptop I’ve owned.

I still rock one of these running Linux and it’s plenty capable for my hobby workloads. Just had to replace the inflating battery!
