I'm excited for this handheld. I'm planning on picking one up just to support more foss based hardware.

Do they have a price announced yet? I love the idea, just unsure how well they can compete with others on price

I’d agree, that’s fantastic to hear!

Yes! More Linux handhelds!

I really don't know why you added a 5 year old abandoned distro to your title.

My understanding is that they are making new version based on opengamepadUI. I made a video playing around with it on a steamdeck running EndeavorOS with opengamepadUI installed as a DE. It's very alpha so IDK how it's going to work for them. https://makertube.net/w/1JtXgbupmgcjJbRD4o7Wpa
