   I just bought a used Ayaneo 2 handheld, it has an old(er) mobile RDNA 2 GPU and I was blown away by how well this thing performed under Linux. Almost everything (that's not a recent AAA game) runs beautiful and a lot faster/smoother than it does under Windows. The experience has been so good that I'm considering switching my main pc (with a 9070XT) to Linux as well.

   No doubt Timur contributed heavily to this given Valves Steamdeck (which uses a very similar but slower GPU).

   Given the current hardware prices it's pretty awesome to see someone squeezing maximum performance out of old hardware!

      Steam Deck amazes me, I've had it for years and it doesn't feel dated in the slightest.

         It came out in 2022 and it's merely 2026 now. It's a fresh device, it has no reason to feel dated yet.
