“Manjaro Linux Team Partner with Orange Pi for Upcoming Neo Gaming Handheld – Could it Challenge the Steam Deck? Unveiled at FOSDEM 2024 Event!”
Recently showcased at FOSDEM 2024, it appears that Manjaro Linux has joined forces with hardware manufacturer Orange Pi for their highly-anticipated Neo gaming handheld. This exciting collaboration was not officially announced by Orange Pi, but the Manjaro Linux team has been generating buzz with posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) and a dedicated page on their website highlighting the impressive specs of the Orange Pi Neo.
With the exception of the Steam Deck, there haven’t been many handheld devices that have embraced Linux. The AYANEO Next Lite was initially announced with HoloISO, but later changed course and opted for Windows. It’s refreshing to see another option emerging in the market that will further expand the presence of Linux in the gaming world.
Speaking of specs, it comes as no surprise that Manjaro was the chosen distribution for this device. It’s currently the recommended Linux distribution by Valve for game development specifically for the Steam Deck. And with both SteamOS and Manjaro being based on Arch Linux, it’s a natural fit.
Excitement is brewing for this upcoming device and it’s definitely one to watch out for. The fact that it’s an all-in-one device is also worth noting, as Orange Pi has primarily been known for their compact boards. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting release as it approaches.
