Well, I’ll bet you a nickel it runs on some kind of minimal Linux environment and uses open source emulators in violation of the GPL and/or whatever other licenses they have. So there’ll be that, I’m sure. But I see your point.
I’d also guess that it runs linux. But likely in a very closed, proprietary way.
Maybe this device can be jailbroken and used for other purposes … but apart from the interesting controller, I’d rather pick a device that can run the OS of my choice without much hassle.
I don’t predict this machine is going to set the world on fire. There is only so much Centipede and Missile Command a sane person can play on the go, after all.
I think its ultimate fate is mostly going to be incessantly being pimped by sponsored influencers until we’re all sick of it.
Does this have anything to do with linux gaming? Looks more like a proprietary game console than a portable linux PC.

Agreed.
