Mecha Comet Linux Handheld Overview
The Mecha Comet is a modular Linux handheld computer that aims to bring back the spirit of customization and modularity found in older computers. It runs on Debian Linux and features a custom GUI that has been open-sourced, along with the CAD files, bootloader, kernel, and image generation tools.
The device has a 40-pin IO that can be extended to use Raspberry Pi hats and supports USB-based controllers, allowing for customization and expansion. The Mecha Comet also prioritizes repairability, with a removable back cover and a single screw size throughout the device, making it easy to upgrade or replace components.
