This is exciting! A gaming handheld from a great open source hardware company that makes SBCs like the RP5. It looks to have all the quality features and combines the best of all the handhelds I’ve seen. This has me really excited.

I am wondering though what gaming on Manjaro Linux is like if anyone knows. I’ve heard of Bazzite and Nobara as well as Chimera and HoloISO which are all focused around gaming. Does Manjaro ship with all the gaming features preinstalled?

    The price ranges can truly vary pretty wildly, but based on the specs listed and the size I’d wager $499 barebones (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) to maybe $650 for the maxed-out version (32GB RAM, 2TB SSD).

      I just read this in their FAQ: “We can’t tell the exact price yet. However it will be at the lower end of Steamdeck pricing.”
