There shtick is privacy. They are selling privacy oriented machines which is a value add for people who need device privacy but don’t have the bandwidth to to setup and audit everything themselves. The service they are selling is more privacy then value budget hardware.
I haven’t looked at there stuff in while. They have really compelling devices. There a bit too pricey for me at the moment.
My understanding is that they are making new version based on opengamepadUI. I made a video playing around with it on a steamdeck running EndeavorOS with opengamepadUI installed as a DE. It’s very alpha so IDK how it’s going to work for them. https://makertube.net/w/1JtXgbupmgcjJbRD4o7Wpa
It’s $500 for a 7840u. It’s not bad IMO. https://neo.manjaro.org/#specs
I’m excited for this handheld. I’m planning on picking one up just to support more foss based hardware.
If anyone is interested in a similar project check out open-game-pad-ui. It features a plug system for stores. Right now there is only steam and flatpak but eventually there could be other stores. It’s really not ready to be daily drive but it is functional.
So there revenue model is to sell the os to OEM and offer support? Good luck with that.
Oh, damn I have one of these in one of my systems. I’m going to have to find it now and replace it. :(

Yeah, I’m in Arizona like the other guy.
Mines out for delivery today. I’m so hyped. I got the special edition one.

Nah, usually some of the lights are out and there is mushy spots on the ceiling.
That is kind of what you get when you buy super processed foods. If you want to save money you have to buy low processed foods. For example, you can get a 3lb bag of apples ($5), 5 cans of beans ($5), 2lb carrots ($2), 5 lbs Potatoes ($5) for the same price.
I’m really excited for this headset! It’s kind of a bumer that it only works with nvidia cards. Also, $1900 is a super brutal price point.
