I like the look of the uconsole but want to know if there are any alternatives with similar form factor. I want to get a protabel Linux machine

Tehyre more focused on gaming, I mean ones with keyboards like uconsole. Loikign for a portable computer. Laptops too big and vayties suck

Are physical keyboards a must? What about something like a Fairphone running Ubuntu Touch?

Or, for that matter, what is driving the need for Linux? Could it be satiated with an android device and/or x2go to a self- or cloud-hosted Linux desktop VM/VPS

Looking for something with more of a desktop look

More looking for a fun device. Mainly for computing. Issue with clout is internet reliance

I would suggest something compatible with Ubuntu Touch and a separate portable keyboard. There are some cool universal/bluetooth ones out there…foldable, compact, with device holder, etc.
