…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.
I’m glad steam deck propelled a new wave of handheld consoles that actually has decent specs
I even saw an article yesterday indicating Sony is developing something as well. 2 years away, but still, I never thought they were going to try again after the psp and Vita failure (failure is subjective, I still love my psp). I fully believe the success of the steam deck has revived there interest in it as well.
Is this something new? 'Cause they had that remote-play screen for the PS5 a while back that seemed to come and go without anyone noticing.
There’s the Playstation Portal, which only streams games from a PS5, and does a worse job than a Steam Deck… Which probably explains why so few people care.
Not referring to the portal, I still have no idea why it exists. This is a recent leak of a new handheld.

Yes, it’s just a leak, but I hope it’s true.

Soon, Only Not Yet.
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.
Did I miss the cost?
Linux preinstalled
two touchpads
7840HS
aw yeah, its gamer time
Manjaro is weird but I wonder if they’ll make it some kind of Manjaro spin? IMO I’d be interested to have Bazzite or something similar on it

Manjaro… yeaaaah…well just make sure to stay away from the AUR.
What’s the GPU?
Likely 780M
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.
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)
Does it use free software drivers and firmware?
AMD’s CPU and GPU firmware is non-free.
I should have specified the other components, as that’s sadly a given.
This stirs my loins!!!
really cool, I like orange pi, I will hwve to switch majaro out as soon as I get it thiugh if I get it
