Quoting: Interrupt: A Linux based Flipper Zero rival that just launched and is already funded —
Sporting a retro handheld look, the Interrupt is a "portable hacking computer" recently launched on Kickstarter and is the first product to be crowd-funded by start-up Interrupt Tech. According to the start-up, the Interrupt was designed with makers in mind and features an open-source system to offer developers complete control over the hardware and software. While similar devices opt for ESP32-based internals, like the Flipper Zero, the Interrupt uses a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with options for various distros to interface with the onboard hardware.

This handheld Linux PC is made for wireless hacking (Crowdfunding a Raspberry Pi-powered Flipper Zero alternative with a QWERTY keyboard)
The Interrupt is a handheld computer with a QWERTY keyboard for thumb typing, a 3.5 inch IPS LCD color display, and a Kali Linux-based operating system. But while you can use it as a general purpose device, it’s really designed as a sort of Flipper Zero-like system for tinkering with nearby wireless devices.
In addition to WiFi 5 and Bluetooth, the handheld has a CG1101 sub 1 GHz radio, NFC and RFID support, and an IR receiver. You can program it to work as a garage door opener, remote control for your TV, keyfob emulator, and much more. Interrupt Tech has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the device, and says it could begin shipping to backers by August, 2025.
