Do NOT trust this new startup company promising to deliver a new Linux-based handheld device. They have funding from blockchain companies, they promise way too much, their goals are high, and some of the promises can't even be delivered. How do they plan on allowing players to play Fortnite? What does an 'immutable distro' have to do with hackers? So many questions...

If I didn't know any better, this could be a scam or something that will leave the limelight soon enough and the people will run off with the $10 million they secured in funding.

@alextecplayz "What if there were an Android of gaming, an OS you could install on any capable hardware to get a controller-friendly PC experience?"
"Roughly 18 employees."
"If valve can do it with the steam deck, we can do it with anything"
"Within a year, Playtron believes it’ll be competing with Windows as the OS for gaming handhelds."
“We’re in conversation with numerous OEMs and mobile operators to build and deploy Playtron devices around the world in the 2025 timeframe"
"He says games like Fortnite and Roblox shouldn’t have to fear hackers reverse engineering their anti-cheat solutions because its Fedora Silverblue base has an immutable file system."
"McMaster says he’s hired the developer behind Box86 to bring Windows games to efficient Arm-based silicon."
110% bullshit. Its constantly mixing android and linux and not even taking into account the other factors like chip architecture and essentially using buzzwords and saying they'll emulate everything and lots of stuff dont add up.

@gamingonlinux its more like the ROG ally than the steam deck, because it'll run windows instead of linux. Thats a VERY big difference in handhelds.
