Fair point. Support for this may be tricky.
Although I think something like replacing a drive is doable by an average consumer given enough instructions/tutorial videos, there's bound to be issues that come up. One way to minimize them may be by matching the OS installs on drives to commonly available hardware out there. Something akin to Amazon automotive "it will fit your car" matching.
As I said, most of the people who would be in the target audience for this age highly unlikely to have separate storage drives. These are the people who go to Costco or Staples and just get the laptop in their price range.
Make a habit to use timeshift or similar backup utility if you continue "exercising your skills". Those allow you to roll back to last known good config.
What about this as on alternative:
Instead of trying to make people install an OS or have to buy a new machine with Linux pre installed, just sell NVME drives with a Linux distro. Something like Mint, or Ubuntu. In my experience Linux is really good nowadays in recognizing hardware plus the people who would be the target audience are unlikely to have some exotic PC setup, probably just a standard off-the-shelf laptop with very common components.
It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish with this mode. If your goal is to do basic documents, web browsing, media consumption, or email/chat/etc, then the Motorola latest phones are more than capable. I'm pairing my phone with a portable display and a foldable keyboard/track pad combo (Bluetooth). It is perfectly capable of day to day light computing. I've even done some very light python programming using PyDroid.
My Motorola Edge+ 2023 has desktop mode when connected to an external display.
Thanks for the work that you are doing.

I've had solar installed on my roof for 3+ years. Best home upgrade I have made by far, IMHO. I agree that buying them or financing them is much better than leasing. Firstly, you take advantage of the tax rebate, also it's much better when the time comes to sell the house.
I wouldn't wait for the tech to advance though. You may lose out on the tax rebate if the current US admin deems that "woke".
As for my experience with them, it's been phenomenal. I basically pay $12/month between April and October. My annual electricity bill is down by about 95%.
Own.
Was super lucky that my wife was able to sell property in her home country after we got married and got her mom and her here to US. Also was one of the fortunate ones to have cash during the sub-prime recession so was able to get a super cheap mortgage.
I generally love owning the house although sometimes I miss renting, when something needs fixing. I'm pretty handy, so I do a lot of the jobs myself, but it could be a big chore.
Still, I'd rather have my own property and the freedom to do what I want with it, like installing solar panels, TV antenna, paint any color I like, etc.
My long term plan involves some sort of downsizing, possibly a live-aboard sail boat, although my wife is sceptical on that one. We're probably going to end up getting a condo in one of the cheaper states.
I would first enquire if this idea can be patented. This could ensure your intellectual property remains with you. This should be your first step, I think. Also, are you able to prototype this yourself?
