The Orange Pi Neo, a Linux-first gaming handheld developed by Orange Pi and Manjaro Linux, has been postponed due to surging prices for DDR5 RAM and SSDs driven by AI demand. The project, in development since early 2024, has cleared necessary certifications but awaits a better market for components. No launch date has been announced.
A YouTuber experimented with installing Bazzite, a Linux distribution inspired by SteamOS, on the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X handheld to achieve a smoother gaming experience than Windows 11. The test revealed improved interface responsiveness but highlighted hardware compatibility issues and inconsistent functionality. Performance in games showed minor gains in fluidity without major boosts in frame rates.
