!linux@lemmy.ml would be fawning all over this one :]
This sounds like the first legitimate competitor to Valve's Steam Deck that is taking the Linux software side of it seriously rather than as an afterthought.
The hall effect joysticks are a nice plus.
I'd consider buying it if I hadn't pre-ordered the original Steam deck the first day it was offered! I'd also wait for reviews to come out on how the physical shape and control layout feels since that's important.
Remember I'm talking about the first competitor to the Steam Deck. So I mean by this the first company other than Valve to care for Linux.
