Finally we're seeing another handheld vendor jump in with Linux. The AYANEO NEXT LITE was announced today and much like the Steam Deck, they plan to ship it with SteamOS!
Ayaneo has a pretty good track record making portable gaming devices, mostly running Windows. I’m guessing “subscriptions” here is a mistranslation for pre-orders.
Yeah. I was looking into a handheld well before the steam deck was announced. GPD probably have the best hardware, but ayaneo the best overall “package” and form factor. My issue was always that they require their proprietary software to be run on top and… I don’t trust them with shit like steam credentials.
But yeah. The company is REALLY Chinese and tend to (presumably) run most of their stuff through a translator. You get used to it.
