@squaresinger @negativenull PDAs are still made, it's just that they're aimed to companies. Specifically for warehouses. For consumer-focused weird mini PCs there's only some obscure chinese companies (usually overprized) like GPD and custom made cyberdecks

    I've been hovering over the Lilygo T-Deck or one of its variants for a long time. I've used the T-HMI (basically a T-Deck without the keyboard) for a long time in other projects, so I'm sure I could do something with a T-Deck, but I'm just not sure if it's actually worth the purchase.

    It would be really cool to have a slick tiny device with Linux on it, but then again, how much will I really use it?

    For now, I dug out an old EEE PC 1005p and put Antix on it. I actually use that one to program while commuting.

    I also got the Fairberry keyboard for my phone, so the question is how much usability space there really is between the phone and the EEE PC.

    But I just love these sleek small devices with keyboards they used to make in the late 90s to the early 2010s.
