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.
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.
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?
Growing up in USSR we had a saying: a comrad comes to you with a shovel, points to a patch of land and says: "you will dig from here and until supper".
I bet White House, with it's ties to Putin's Russia, means something similar.
Nuclear is much more green than any fossil fuel based energy. It's also much more stable than renewables because it does not rely on the sun, wind, tides, etc. Renewables need more development around grid-scale storage. This is where nuclear can be a good transitional stop to an all-renewable energy future.
There are drawbacks to nuclear, of course, storage of waste material is chief among them.
There is a DM system, but that's not really what Lemmy is for. It's basically a reddit alternative. So blogging in various communities. Find topical communities based on your interests, read what people are posting, comment or post your own.
