Just need it on generic desktop and we will be set!

Iirc, the requirement is basically a computing device than runs using AMD processor (I forgot about the GPU part, but maybe it must be AMD too), and uses NVME SSD. So, most modern system?

Yeah but I’m sure it’s probably hardware limited for now specifically to that handheld. Awaiting further information

Ahh, yes. I read the official installation and it is indeed written in bold. AMD hardware with NVME drive targeted towards handheld. Yeah, would be nice for generic desktop too for living room PC.
