I was craving to get back into gaming recently and settled on just getting one of the $50 linux handheld in the game boy form factor. There are enough fun games to last me a lifetime, and I don’t have to deal with accounts, dlc, pay to win, etc.

Just a piece of hardware I actually own that can run whatever I want.

The Ayn Thor is exactly this, but for people that placed the bar one or two console generations later

Care to name which one? Does it run steamOS?

I would definitely get one for $50. Or even twice that price point.
