Also, connect it to a cheap RPi (or alternative) so you could get a completely standalone scope! So no need for using your laptop, you put that on your bench with a power supply and that is it.

That is a nice idea,  but I only have 1 arduino and 1 arduino clone at hand. I have toyed with the idea of buying a Raspberry pi because I wanted (and still want) to use Python to do various things :D.

a possible solution would be a RPi Zero with 10" screen + a SMPS module + wall adapter. Getting these component cheaply is possible which is nice. You could now search for a linux board which is very cheap aside from RPi... something that withstand Ubuntu since, I assume, the Owon software works on Ubuntu.

This is a suggested setup:

^ there are other screens if this one is not compatible with Pi Zero.

Do they have software for Ubuntu? Usually, support is a little sketchy for  Linux devices :P.

I can't vouch for the quality of the Linux software but there  is OpenHantek http://openhantek.org/
I haven't worked with Linux since Suse so I'm not familiar with the newer distros

I think I will definetely get a RPi once I get some more money to do stuff. I have tried to find stuff locally but they usually have only high power stuff. And I think I have never seen LCDs for sale. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places!
