I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

        PineNote exists too, though it’s often out of stock. Remarkable tablet has a pretty decent hacking community, and gives you its root password in settings. Kobo devices have been able to run aftermarket software for years, and recently there’s been progress in booting a complete OS. If you’re okay with Android there are even more choices. @crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com you’ve got some options!

          Now that we’re on the topic, an idea for an eCafe where there are plenty of physical books, but you can plug in the reader to a machine to fully download the book so you can read it offline.

          I think I want to learn more about coding and find a bunch of leftist buddies and make shit that’s actually “innovative”.

      The older Kindles are basically this. Most of their software it runs on are shell scripts under the hood.
