aw yeah, its gamer time

Orange PI is competitor to Raspberry PI... so is this meant to be a "case" for a similar priced SOC board? With GPIO pins?

I understand the issues with Manjaro. But I am super excited with handhelds making a major come back. I think the next couple of years we are going to see major breakthroughs. Battery life is currently a big issue but this should be solved with more RND.

I currently play on Switch but I am getting very tempted to cross over to another device. But I will wait to see what Nintendo does next before I decide. A buddy of mine has the Asus ROG Ally which is also pretty impressive on its own.

really cool, I like orange pi, I will hwve to switch majaro out as soon as I get it thiugh if I get it

Does it use free software drivers and firmware?

Apparently it is a real device and not fake or a scam like some were suggesting. It is currently being featured at Fosdem at the KDE booth even and it seems to be featuring the SteamOS interface but seemingly on a Manjaro based os.
I assume this means they have taken the HoloISO bits like the gamescope session and interface but rebased it on Manjaro but it could also just mean they forked and rebranded it as Manjaro (and possibly delay updates for two whole weeks in the name of stability).

It's the first linux first handheld device next to the Steam Deck and even comes with two touchpads that look strikingly similar to the Deck ones but never would I have imagined it being featured by Manjaro. The specs look impressive though the design reminds me of the early Steam Deck prototypes Valve showed once that equally featured a glossy finish.
Let's see whether it earns another entry on the list of Manjaro fuckups.

Edit: Formatting

This stirs my loins!!!

What's the GPU?

I welcome more linux based handhelds to the space but I'll stick with the steam deck myself. At least I know that will be supported for a long time.

Why Mandingo and not SteamOS?
