From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Now just release the damn thing in Australia so I can buy one from someone other than the shady fb market scalpers.

I just bought a ROG Ally.

There's a lot of stupid stuff written/on you tube about it, but it's great and clearly a notch up on the Steam Deck in most ways.

Were it not so extremely expensive in my currency I'd already be using one. I just spent slightly more than that for a rig that will last me close to 10years. I really want to see more competition in the handheld space, near future is looking promising, but its not there yet.
