I'm very happy to announce that thanks to a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, I have in my hands a FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 - in this configuration, a tiny fanless desktop #microPC based on the Rockchip RK3588S processor.
I've had my eye on this device to fill the role of ultraportable desktop PC, especially in the event my laptop ever breaks or is lost/stolen, which would instantly render me unable to work if I didn't have a backup.
because of this generous gift, I'll be able to put the #NanoPi M6 to the test, and answer my top-of-line question: just how usable is this device as a light-duty desktop PC running Linux right now, in 2026? how well is the hardware supported? will I have problems getting work done?
I'm looking forward to having answers to all that and more. be sure to keep an eye on the Peertube channel @surfhosting.cc in the coming weeks and months ... and thank you so much to my donor, you know who you are!

THIS is Why I Bought a #Framework Laptop | Hardware Haven

tl;dw: upgrade #Framework13 laptop, slap old motherboard - which fully supports this - in a 3D printed case, and do any number of things with it
entertainment PC, mini desktop, blade server in a cluster, NAS with 6x SATA HDD ... take your pick!
maybe that high up-front cost isn't quite so bad after all?
