I’m really excited by this. I sold my nintendo switch a while ago and I miss handheld gaming while going on trips. and also the fact that alot of games will probably be ported to linux because of this. what do you all think?

    ~~Personally, I think what makes the console experience is just make some games exclusive to the console. I don’t think that’s what they really want, according to myself; an ex-handheld/console gamer. these machines are powerful but not utilized to the fullest and they don’t allow it even if it can be done. what we really want is to be able to play with most people on other platforms, have more cheaper games, more freedom in customizing our machine and maybe play retro games with an emulator. these things are only possible on the pc. not on the handheld just because gaming console always has an closed ecosystem like that of an iphone. handheld gamers are kind of oppressed in this way. which is why if a company like valve made a handheld PC. this would not only change linux gaming. but it will affect the whole handheld gaming world.

      There are many, many PC exclusives. They could do one single timed release for such a console and sell hundreds of thousands of units.
