This is exciting! A gaming handheld from a great open source hardware company that makes SBCs like the RP5. It looks to have all the quality features and combines the best of all the handhelds I've seen. This has me really excited.

I am wondering though what gaming on Manjaro Linux is like if anyone knows. I've heard of Bazzite and Nobara as well as Chimera and HoloISO which are all focused around gaming. Does Manjaro ship with all the gaming features preinstalled?

Cool, I wonder the pricing.

I feel like holoiso would be better for this, but maybe in this way it would entice more devs?

I wonder that too. What do these things normally go for? High hundreds to just over a thousand? I wonder if you were to install HoloISO if all the hardware features would still work properly.

The price ranges can truly vary pretty wildly, but based on the specs listed and the size I'd wager $499 barebones (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) to maybe $650 for the maxed-out version (32GB RAM, 2TB SSD).

I just read this in their FAQ: "We can’t tell the exact price yet. However it will be at the lower end of Steamdeck pricing."
