	tl;dr: Flipper is launching pre-orders for the Flipper One, an open-source Linux network multi-tool built on a Rockchip RK3576 SoC with a Raspberry Pi RP2350 co-processor for low-power control. It features Wi-Fi 6E (MediaTek MT7921AUN), Gigabit Ethernet, built-in eSIM, and an M.2 Key-B slot for expansion with 5G modems, SDR, SSDs, or AI accelerators. The device targets mainline kernel support with no binary blobs via a partnership with Collabora, and supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for desktop use over a single USB-C cable.
	HN Discussion: ↑Multi-WAN networking capabilities are a compelling unique selling point for travelers ↑Existing Flipper Zero users share positive experiences validating the brand's utility ~Skepticism about how they achieve true mainline kernel support when others struggle •Curiosity about new use cases like LLM-assisted pen-testing or mobile computing setups ↓Concerns about hardware durability and lack of replacement parts for existing products
