Every once in a while I am on the customizing trip and want to mix up my computing experience. Perhaps it sounds weird after just repairing the Surface Laptop to now blog about customizing Linux to the max, but I am constantly switching operating systems and interfaces. The best devices I own are the Mac Mini M1 and my trusty Lenovo Yoga Slim 7. One running MacOS (or Asahi), the other one pure Linux. If the Yoga just had a high DPI screen...

So it turns out I was really stupid to attest Microsoft any technical prowess in 2020.

My partner @chaotin@corteximplant.com was gifted a Ducky One 3 Matcha mechanical keyboard. I converted that thing to a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) chip with QMK firmware.

The idea is to build a small mono speaker that is repairable, hackable and can do some more advanced things than just being a Bluetooth speaker.
