it kills sd cards and iric, the controller itself overheats and dies

Garm power efficiency is ridiculous 
Ti dont think it's that much of a difference with bazzite vs. windows in battery life but i don't own the handhelds so maybe im wrong
Awhen you want battery life there is
Awhen you dont theres not
Moh damn
Abut battery life youre either looking at the steam deck or an android handheld
GI just added a 2tb 2230 so I don't have to worry about SD cards
Glol
Gbut yeah, battery life could be better, even on linux
Athe legion go does a solid 4 hours with light games
Aa bit more
V....i have a 2tb ssd card in my deck, three 1tb sd cards, and a portable 2tb samsung t7 ssd
Aswitch around 3
Ait can go up to 5 if the game uses nothing
Gthat's low
Abetter than the ally
Vthe rog ally and lenovo legion go have comparable performance and are both readily available. some advantages and disadvantages to each
Gwell yes, but low considering it's an arm device
Abut thats only due to a bigger battery
Aoh no i mean playing switch
Aswitch can do a lot more
Vgpd and onexplayer have some nice handhelds with nice features (and oculink) but the cost increase difference isn't nessessarly worth it lmao
Gohhhhh
Gok ok
Aswitch oled i read uses 6-8w
Aon heavy games
G
Athey claim 4.5 to 9 hours for the oled
Gcan't compete with that
Asteam deck oled can almost
Vi throw my deck down to 3-7 apu tdp when playing visual novels or emulating low powered stuff and get like 6 hours of battery life. if i had an oled it would be even better.
Ayeah that drops the consumption to around 8w on the steam deck
Aalthough my math says 7W?
A6*7 = 35 which is about right
Alegion go on nothingburger games does 10w, on light games does 13W min
Gmaybe we'll get to a point where x86->arm translation/emulation is good enough to run cp2077 with 30~fps on an arm handheld
G
G8w max
Vbasically. deck = better a low tdps. ally/legion go: more compatibility, full windows drivers if you dual-boot, performs better at higher tpd, less battery life
Gimagine
Vwell, people are making strides in the x64/x86 android emulation space for pc games, so we'll see in time
Gyup
GI honestly think arm has a great future
Gespecially since we're seeing more and more ampere/arm64 stuff on servers
Vi somehow lucked into the last flagship qualcom chip before 32bit support removal on my last phone upgrade
Gand with Microsoft pushing w11 arm
Vyeah, we'll see where that goes
Vbut could be good for arm in general
Gis arm32 better for emulation stuff?
Vunsure, but drivers aren't there yet for emulation on the newer chips. was more thinking about general compatibility and running older games.
