    make a live usb and try it? The deck at its core is an x86 linux pc, so it should be fine. THe screen may be rotated. :)

    Parrot works great on the LCD. I can’t get the live disk to boot on the OLED though - there’s a hub error. Probably need a newer version with the drivers added or enabled in the kernel

        I’m going to test more tomorrow, but so far (using ventoy 1.0.9.2) I get stuck on the hub error with parrot. I can boot into latest kali live, but I get the hub error (boot pushes through) and the Wi-Fi chip isn’t detected.

        I’ll try blackarch tomorrow and see if I can put the new chip into monitor mode. I’ll also try to find some drivers. Also plan on trying to use parrot docker, but I couldn’t get monitoring to work on the LCD switch, so my expectations are low there.

        New hardware that I can recall off the top of my head: bt, wifi, usb, and display? I’ll test more devices and update. Might make a new post.
