Pretty cool to see. Small factor devices to play Steam games… through emulation, who would have thought we come so far. Unfortunately this is based on Android and I do not want to use Android, unless it is modified and has nothing to do with Google anymore (such as /e/OS a modified Android).

For those not prepared to replace their OS, I’ve been enjoying this project the last couple weeks.

Sweet! Unfortunately, my Anbernic RG 351P won’t have enough enough power for any of the games on Steam. Still really cool.

Qualcomm was relatively quick with the 8 Elite gen 5 open source adreno drivers. I think they recognize that we may be finally entering the premium gaming on ARM and they can benefit from Android phones and handhelds and soon in the future more handheld Linux gaming pcs
