New Manjaro Linux Gaming Handheld from OrangePi

This is exciting! A gaming handheld from a great open source hardware company that makes SBCs like the RP5. It looks to have all the quality features and combines the best of all the handhelds I've seen. This has me really excited.

I am wondering though what gaming on Manjaro Linux is like if anyone knows. I've heard of Bazzite and Nobara as well as Chimera and HoloISO which are all focused around gaming. Does Manjaro ship with all the gaming features preinstalled?

Thanks for the info! This is really useful to know and definitely puts me off a little. I would hope installing another OS would preserve the device features. I started to look into "Manjaro Gaming Edition." It all looks to be from a few years ago and based on XFCE. However on the device's website it mentions a Plasma desktop so I wonder if they did a special version for this. One can hope it'll be a better kept version of the OS from what you said.

Manjaro Gaming Edition was a community thing and has been abandoned for 5 years now. All Manjaro editions are listed on their website: https://manjaro.org/download/
