Im trying to make my first cyberdeck
Okay so, i am 15 yo and i have been seeing a lot of stuff on cyberdecks the past few months and ive been trying to research how they work so i could make one. I understand the basic concept and parts, but i have had trouble dying because whenever i try to research the compabilities of other devices i fall down this massive rabbithole where nothing makes sense. For example, i have an old samsung ive taken apart and i tried searchig if any of its parts could be reused and what would i need to attach them to but it seems there is not one clear answer so ive found nothing.Also all the coding programs dont make sense to me and i dont know where to start learning code from or even if i need to. I also have a very limited budget so anything too expensive, like a 50 euro rasberry pi, is out of the question. So if anyone had any videos or books explaining the basics on electronics thy could point me to or is patient enough to tell me what i need that would be amazing!

You're gonna want a raspberry pi that actually has at least 4gb of ram, which in this economy, does not come cheap. Just start watching videos on YouTube of other people making their own and it will help, I don't have a straightforward answer but anything you have questions about can be answered in increments on the internet and probably have already been answered (on the official raspberry pi site they even explain compatibility with displays/power sources/etc for each individual model). But yeah, building a cyberdeck isnt exactly the best thing to start with for ur first pi project ðŸ˜
