It's going to be running LINUX and will compete with the Switch! Let's talk about this! Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv1Kcz-CuGM6mxzL3B1_Eiw/join You ca...

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?

    i use it daily. latency is only an issue if you are one of the world’s top players in an online multiplayer (and if you are, you own a crazy expensive rig that doesn’t need to stream anyway), or if you have poor/slow internet connection. otherwise, it is perfectly fine, even for “casual” competitive use in those types of games.

      I disagree, maybe you are almost living next to the data-center this cloud gaming runs on, but most people don’t and input latency is really noticeable on fast paced games even for a more casual gamer like me. It really demotivates me playing a game if the input latency is so bad, and I almost feel like it makes me borderline physically sick (which would explain why it unconsciously demotivates me to play).
