What in the hell happened to Orange Pi Neo?
I've been watching for news about it too but nothing yet. Does look very promising and well put together
Expect more news on the device to start slowly releasing soon. See my other comment for a rough overview of the current status of the device.
It looks like a steam deck, but worse. Worse display, worse out of the box software, worse controls. I know we all get excited over new handhelds, but I don't think the orange pie neo is going to be one to pay much attention to. There's just nothing new there in the cost is more than a steam deck.
Don't compare it with SD OLED. It still runs linux, starting price at $499, maybe even less and it has the 7840 and trackpads. So it's the only SD competitor out there, being that the new Zotac handheld runs Windows.
I mean fairpoint, I've been salty about waiting for it too. I don't really trust Manjaro though, their team has had a shady reputation in the last few years
Software wise it is right now pretty much a SteamOS clone, the user experience is very similar to what SteamOS provides. We are initially aiming at just making the software stable and reliable for launch, afterwards through updates the device will be made better over time.
