During #FOSDEM I rediscovered #MechaComet. Cool #Linux 🐧 #handheld! It is currently running a #Kickstarter. So grab yours, while you can and if you want to know why I am so excited about it, check my blog 😉 https://michal.hrusecky.net/2026/02/mecha-comet/

Mecha Comet with QWERTY keyboard

Whatever peaked my interest

Looking forward to my Mecha Comet

We manged to get a booth at this years FOSDEM and went there with Turris and Bird. It was a blast, but let’s talk about that some other time. I want to share my thoughts about one really interesting project I re-discovered there. What is it? Yes, as the title suggest, I’m going to write about Mecha Comet. For those who don’t know, let’s introduce the project. It is open source Linux device, let’s call it PDA. It has a touch display, it is battery powered, it is not a phone and it runs Linux. Not Android, but a real GNU/Linux. In this case Fedora. This by itself makes the device interesting. But there is yet another cool feature. Extensibility.

The Kickstarter campaign is still a few dollars short of reaching a million. I'm considering creating a second Kickstarter account so I can get both processor models. #mecha #mechaComet

I don’t usually review hardware publicly but my personal #FOSDEM highlight forced my hand. I checked out the mecha comet meetup, and all I can say is: This thing is exceptionally well‑designed. Multiple iterations and each one smarter than the last. #comet #mechaComet
