    Now that Factorio is on Arm I could consider it. Still kinda dislike the lack of a generic boot loader that just works across any device though.

      I solved this problem with a GPD Win Max 2, which is just a regular computer that folds up to about the size of a small hardcover book. You can run regular (i.e. PC compatible) operating systems and programs on it. It has a closed source UEFI firmware to my knowledge, but there’s still nothing stopping you from running Linux on it. The current version is the 3 and is alas not cheap, probably due to the whole RAMpocalypse thing.

      Possibly with the aid of an external monitor, you could easily use the thing as your only computer. It just so happens to also fit in the pocket of your JNCOs.

      For what it’s worth it also charges via USB power delivery, so the same battery brick I use to extend my Steam Frame’s run time will happily charge my Win Max as well, although I have no real world use case for that capability whatsoever.
