TL;DR: The #CPU is too weak for a #desktop system. Without #HDMI, there are much cheaper IoT RISC-V systems.
The RISC-V chip it uses is the same one as found on the #Milk-V Mars, with Orange Pi pointing out that it can run Linux distributions, pointing to #Debian #Linux on its download page.
With Milk-V Mars, starting #Firefox takes 20 seconds under Debian. Nobody really wants to work with this #performance. You could certainly shorten the time with a very lightweight customized Linux, but it is questionable whether these adjustments will be made.
What's better is that #PCIe is on the underside, unlike the Mars, and the #Wifi is onboard.
If you are looking for a pure IoT solution without HDMI, the Milk-V Duo S is a much cheaper hardware that runs under Linux.
Meanwhile, in 2024, nearly everyone has abandoned the sub-700MB size limit to run on computers old enough to not have a DVD and cannot boot off of a #USB drive. This is completely understandable because applications, the #kernel, and drivers have all mushroomed in their space requirements. Hats off to Puppy Linux for staying one of the few that still offer a full #desktop environment in a small size.

Scrcpy (pronounced “screen copy“) is a free, #open-source, and cross-platform application used to display and control an #Android device from your #Linux desktop computer. It works on Linux, #Windows, and #macOS, and allows you to control a device connected via a #USB or #wirelessly (over TCP/IP).
It features mirroring with Android device screen off, configurable screen display quality, recording, copy and paste in both directions, using an Android device as a webcam (Linux only), physical keyboard and mouse simulation, #OTG mode, and much more.
To use #scrcpy, your Android device must have at least API 21 (Android 5.0), and it must also have #adb (Android Debug Bridge) debugging (USB debugging) enabled. But, it does not require root user access on Linux.

In the #cybersecurity field, engineers are always looking for vulnerabilities in order to fix them and prevent other actors could taking advantage of them. The tools used by these engineers can be expensive and, on many occasions, the tools don't fit exactly with the requirements that engineers need. In this project, I want to present an open-source hardware platform with some tools used in cybersecurity, especially in pen testing. The board is named Hackbat and features an RF transceiver, NFC communication, SD card, USB, and #WIFI. All of this is managed by the #RaspberryPI #microcontroller RP2040. The schematic and the PCB design are open-source and are available on GitHub. Let's take a part-by-part look at the #Hackbat.
The versatility of the Milk-V Duo S is one of its standout features. It comes equipped with a range of connectivity options, including a 10/100 #Ethernet jack for stable wired internet connections and #USB Type-C and Type-A ports for connecting a variety of peripherals. The board also includes a #microSD card reader for expandable storage, and it’s equipped with 512MB of #DDR3 memory, which is more than capable of managing multiple tasks simultaneously. For those who need wireless connectivity, certain models of the Milk-V Duo S also include #WiFi and #Bluetooth, as well as #eMMC storage options for faster data access and improved security.

With a starting price of only $11, it is positioned to be within reach of a wide spectrum of users, from hobbyists to professionals.
