    The armbian community is on another level of commitment. Installing a recent debian version on an old ARM Rockchip totally blew my mind… Those people need more recognition !

      Yeah, Armbian is amazing. The half of the official images for the Rock Pi S don’t even boot while with Armbian it works great.

    I mean… is this a big deal? Every retro ARM handheld out there runs some version of Linux or Android. I gues Retroid was an Android-focused brand, hence the name, but if you wanted to run Batocera on a handheld there is no shortage of options.

      Snapdragon hasn’t had mainline kernel support and has always been a pain to set up, enough so that nobody does it. This is using a snapdragon processor. Those are also fairly powerful.
