    I’ve been wondering how long this would take, it’s exciting to see some progress!

    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).

      Yes, it looks to be a Linux system instead of android.

        You are right! rocknix.org

        ROCKNIX is an immutable Linux distribution for handheld gaming devices focused on retro gaming emulation.

        However I could not find on what it is based on.

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