Could you build this?
No Running an operating system (postmarketOS) and media client on dedicated Chromebit hardware requires low-level embedded Linux, kernel hacking, and hardware tinkering.
What it would actually take: Requires porting and configuring postmarketOS Linux kernel and device trees for the Rockchip RK3288-based Chromebit stick. Needs deep knowledge of U-Boot, embedded Linux build systems (Alpine/pmbootstrap), and GPU hardware acceleration (Mali drivers) for video playback.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Horizontal yet.
