Yes! Actually, one of the first cards we built internally is a little Arduino-compatible one with a SAMD21 microcontroller and an external-facing 0.1" pin header for GPIO.

Will the expansion cards work if plugged into a USB-C port on another laptop or desktop? (Assuming I have driver e.g. Linux installed).

Yep! Most do not require any custom drivers.

Will your specs include metric or just imperial measurements like you just used here?

Fear not, modern inches are metric inches:

since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s, it has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.
