Looking at the thumbnail, I'm assuming they're using the guts from a framework laptop: https://frame.work/linux
Of course, that doesn't say anything about the display or controls, but it's a solid maybe.
It is a framework mainboard. The display is almost certainly connected via displayport on one of the framework usb-c ports, so that should be fine, and I'm pretty sure they mention the game pads are Bluetooth. There should be no issues running Linux on this.
@thejevans @DoomBot5 crazy to think that popos and other Linux distributions don’t run on Framework
@Sailor_jets website says different.

They most likely do, and without any problems. They're just not *officially* supported; you can't ask for support if there's an issue.
They officially supported the two largest user distros. Beyond that, there are community supported distros. I can't imagine it would be too hard to get other supported ones on there if someone wanted to maintain it.
