I've been interested in this style, but with this guy's extruder that put it in a Sherpa Mini form factor: https://github.com/nhchiu/VoronMods/tree/main/Extruders/ProtoXtruder

He's also done clockwork2 and LGX Lite style housings.

I would continue to say don't use RAID56. You can use RAID1, which will give you the sum of all your drives divided by 2 in usable space. As long you're not matching say a 4TB and 2x1TB. It's called RAID1, but really it writes all data to 2 separate drives, that's why the 4TB and 2x1TB example you don't have enough to write more than 2TB on separate drives. https://www.carfax.org.uk/btrfs-usage/ is a calculator you can play with

https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Status.html#block-group-profiles They still list RAID56 as unstable on the docs.

It really depends on how modular their codebase is. The Doom 1/2 modern ports they did in 2019 use Unity. But it's actually still the original Doom underneath and just using Unity for input and output to make porting easier

Klipper isn't a web interface. Octoprint works with Klipper as a web interface. They're different software for different things.

Bigger screen than a regular android phone. Especially because your 6" 21:9 phone means a 16:9 picture on it will only take up ~5".

Also better controller. Those mounts for a phone on a regular Xbox/Playstation controller always make it too top-heavy since your phone has to be on top of the controller. And I love the idea of a full-sized controller over a Switch or even Steam Deck's tiny buttons that just aren't comfortable.

I'd probably only be interested if it lets you run actual Android stuff though. Have you seen the Logitech G Cloud gaming handheld? That one's even more expensive, but it does run local games too.

why anyone would prefer that over simply using a regular Android phone with a good controller

I always think this is funny because that sums up /r/sbcgaming

I don't like it because that's the kind of elitist attitude that turns away new people from checking out Linux gaming. Imagine that as a response to "Hey I play these games and am interested in Linux". You're going to tell them: "switch to Linux and give up those games and if you don't you're not committed enough"?

It's gatekeeping "console-wars" fanboy mentality. Like a ~~Linux~~ Playstation fan attacking someone for playing an ~~Windows~~ Xbox Exclusive. As if that's supposed to be their whole identity, and not just a way to play video games.

There's nothing wrong with having multiple consoles; there's nothing wrong with dual-booting.
