My work has been providing an Ubuntu based Linux ThinkPad X1 for over a year and it's been great not having to deal with MS nonsense. There are some growing pains, but it's well worth it!

Sony seems to be migrating out of the console market with good timing. The console itself is a loss and competing with emulation is another distraction. They have realized that focusing on games and peripherals are where they can profit most, it appears. As a pc user, I love their controllers and games so it's a welcome shift.

I'll imagine that there is a rising tide of Amiga desktops then.

Sensational claims require sensational evidence.

Known unknown(s) at 7.14% and rising over the Linux stat. Could these also be Linux and perhaps BSD desktops?

Back in my day, jokes made people laugh, occasionaly, they still do. Don't stop joking though. Even my grumpy ass can pull a laugh now and then.

You are old fashioned if you live in the 1800s. Powered bikes and scooters had gas engines long ago and the electrics we have now are quieter and cleaner with fewer moving parts and far less maintenance. Foot power is still alive and well, why begrudge people choises?

This thing is tiny and coupled with XReal or Viture glasses it makes for a very portable, very powerful (Ryzen 7 7840U with eight Zen 4 cores and an RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) game system that is much faster than many handheld systems without the weight and neck strain. In contrast, with the Steamdeck I found myself preferring a kb/mouse or pairing another controller and it was hard to find a comfortable position to play from without hooking it to a monitor.

Debian Xfce testing (Trixie) works really well though I had to install some packages such as joystick and blueman and a few steps to install Steam, the effort was well worth it. I did not want a SteamOS distro because I'd prefer Debian's package management and I like the support and versatility this distro has.

Weak points of using the XReal is that the edges are a little out of focus and one might need prescription inserts (I do not). Otherwise, they are very lightweight and I can be comfortable anywhere. They are also great for watching movies plugging into a phone that has display port capable usb-c (though I recommend a dongle that allows charging the phone while viewing). The glasses also have 3DOF that can be used to move your view (as a mouse or joystick would) while gaming but that requires a driver . Coupled with SideBySide 3D mode on the glasses and in Minetest it's very immersive!

I think this is really the way going forward with portable gaming.

  • Lighter and smaller handheld
  • A large screen experience in a portable package
  • Privacy
  • Not having to hold the handheld device oriented to view it
  • Replaceable battery is a big plus too!

There is no mention of Linux as the OS but it looks as friendly to Linux gaming as any other AMD based handheld device beside the Steam Deck.

 

Goblins update with many bug fixes for Mineclone 2 and Mineclonia support and emotes for goblin trade reactions!
