I've had a TrimUI Brick for some time but haven't used it very much. I decided to swap my Retroid Pocket Classic for the Brick in my small tech bag just because it's smaller and lighter. And so I started looking into the latest firmware updates for the device and all of that, which brought me to a Reddit thread about the latest release.
As it turns out, not only did someone find SSH credentials to root into the Brick, but they also discovered that it runs Tina Linux, which (as far as I can see) is based on OpenWRT. The TrimUI brick is basically a router that plays Game Boy games. Technically gaming on Linux.
