Old Portable TV Becomes Unique CRT Cyberdeck | Hackaday
Remember the “suitcase” form-factor for PCs? In the time before latops, these luggable machines were just the thing for the on-the-go executive. OK, maybe not really — but the ability to have PC, monitor, and peripherals in a single package had real appeal, and a lot of that rationale is behind the cyberdeck phenomenon. So when we saw this retro portable TV turned into a cyberdeck, it really caught our eye.
Ironically, the portable black-and-white TV that [Lucas Dul] chose as the basis for his cyberdeck hails from about the same period in time that luggable PCs were having their brief time in the sun. Scored from eBay, the Magnavox TV/radio combo had seen better days, and required a bit of surgery to repair what might have been drop damage. With the CRT restored and the video and audio paths located, the TV got a Raspberry Pi, a small touchpad, and a couple of concealed USB connectors. The Pi’s composite output drives the CRT, with about the results you’d expect. The keyboard appears to be just about the right size to serve as a cover, but [Lucas] said that’s a future project.

Linux Mint apparently runs better than Windows 11 on Surface devices [Ed: But why would you want to pay Microsoft for hardware (that it does not even produce) and for a Windows licence you neither want nor use?]
No, it isn’t a joke, people took it upon themselves to try it and the results are actually better than what was initially expected from this experiment.
Furthermore, users that have been using Surface devices since for graphics and work state that there is always something wrong with them.
They are referring to either Windows OS-specific problems or questionable hardware configurations choices made by Microsoft.
Regardless of the motivation that drove some to leave Windows 11 behind in favor of Linux, on Microsoft-designed laptops and tablets, the result is the same.
