Beyond the Alphabet is a weekly column that focuses on the tech world both inside and out of the confines of Mountain View.
Last year, while on vacation, I was having a conversation with my uncle about computers and the idea of having a single device that can do everything you could want. This came after he showed me his Framework Laptop, which was primarily booting Linux, but he also had a Windows partition and was working on setting up another one for macOS. That idea has stuck with me over the past year, as he can take this singular laptop with him wherever he goes and boot it right into whatever OS he wants. And while that's a project that I still want to tackle, I decided to start smaller.
