I want this to be a thing so much...
But I cannot overlook the fact that this "website" is composed entirely of images and none of the text is properly aligned.

I'm glad steam deck propelled a new wave of handheld consoles that actually has decent specs
Yeah hopefully we can get something decent in the 300 dollar range. I haven't looked too much into these but they all seem to be 6-800.

Manjaro... yeaaaah...well just make sure to stay away from the AUR.
Did I miss the cost?
They never say it on these articles and videos. They'll say it's cheap and then the price will be $1000

Finally a competitor that has Linux and uses trackpads.
And the joysticks are Xbox style and not ps style. If that makes sense.

Too bad they didn’t use a layout similar as the Steam deck. It’s the best layout for a handheld with trackpads. These trackpads are really far down.

Similar numbers to the z1 extreme but on lighter software. It could be a good balance. I remember travelling through Europe with a gaming laptop and an Android tablet. The efficiency of that tablet had me using it for games and browsing so much more. Anyway, this could be gaming performance and clos to Android/arm efficiency (vs the windows handhelds)
...Why Manjaro?
Manjaro has been bizarrely good at getting hardware partners on board. Pine64 (think pinephone, pinetab, SBCs), MinisForum, Slimbook, Tuxedo, etc.
If only they were properly run in other areas.

Lower everyone's expectations so that when it performs better than expected it can be racked up as a win?
