where I did the Domino on XBox picture ages ago...
After looking into the ARM platform in general, I had a quick look into the Raspberry PI platform.
The kits because quite expensive. But there is a model intended for schools etc, with very similar hardware backed into a keyboard.

After getting a Micro HDMI cable realizing my adapter was only Mini HDMI, I got it setup quite quickly.
It comes without any OS installed, but an easy way to copy the Linux of your choice to a SD card.
After a quick look at their native OS, I decided to install:
22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
For 89 Euro you get quite interesting hardware, with a lot of options including WLAN and good connectivity in general.
Beside compiling some of my code on ARM, I first took a look into Nomad web on Chromium, which just works.
It's not very fast, but it works well.
I switched it back to the text based mode for now and installed a Docker server for the next adventures.
This will be probably one of the lab machines I am taking to DNUG in June.
