Hacker News.

With Flipper One, we're reimagining what a Linux cyberdeck can be — it's a huge project. We're opening up the development process and asking the community for help.

I love this, read the whole article, but I still feel underwhelmed.

I have a ton of older hardware lying around, all running Linux and perfectly capable to perform the tasks outlined. Incl. a Nokia N900 that can be ssh'd into etc. It's of similar size AND has a keyboard. Granted, that one does not have an ethernet port but the others do.

And we all know how easy it is to buy an ARM board, install Linux and add all the ethernet ports one desires.

So, apart from the really nice form factor, why this one above all these options?

It was a bit like that with the Zero as well. All those tools existed as separate packages, and some were bundled, but the complete feature set and the form factor made it the best wireless signal analysis tool on the market.
