Even better is you don't even need to wait those three days. You can replace it straight away! :-)

I used Manjaro for about a year around 2019 and it was awful.

I liked its selling point on being based on Arch and having access to AUR, but the official repositories would only have stuff that is vetted to work on the current release of Manjaro (at least that's what I had heard about Manjaro at the time)

The amount of times a package update shit the floor is too many to count.

Before that I was using Ubuntu and for the most part it was fine.

The first distro I used was Mint since the desktop environments, Cinnamon, resembled Windows XP.

IDK, what does "Pi" have to do with anything? Orange Pi is a Raspberry Pi-like device running an ARM SOC and their Orange Pi 800 also uses an ARM SOC.

The Orange Pi Neo doesn't have an ARM chip, isn't at all related to the Raspberry Pi, and isn't Orange. It's like their trying to mix the branding of Raspberry Pi and Ayaneo, without understanding what makes either cool.

Or just HoloOS. Steam Deck has proven the design, why overcomplicate things?

Just put bazzite on it, that would be my first step

Well it's a Manjaro project... it would be pretty weird if they used another Linux distro for their own project.

FWIW I'm guessing it's going to be heavily customized and not bear a great resemblance to desktop Manjaro, like SteamOS doesn't resemble regular Arch.

scam

It's real

They literally had an event lol.

Is that a collab I wonder... Logo looks similar

They have a platform at least? Some day they may release one. The main problem with arm gaming is that you could also do it on a phone+controllers.

The AMD apu is far superior but also far more expensive. Their gpu is just unbeatable. Also software support is guaranteed on x86.
