    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. https://www.theverge.com/24090470/playtron-gaming-os-linux-handhelds-exclusive #SteamDeck #Linux #LinuxGaming #Playtron #scam

    @fedora@fosstodon.org this article feels a lot like "hey linux users, please do a bunch of free labour for us so we can monetize it later" besides the vague goals and buzzwords without any action, on top of the fact it's said the very same guy that led to cyanogenmod dying - and lineageos rising, thankfully i suppose we'll see what becomes of it

    @fedora@fosstodon.org Ooo, exciting news! ...it's gonna be proprietary, isn't it. "Playtron hasn’t quite decided just how open source it’ll be, though. [...] There’ll be no Linux desktop mode." And it's looking to include AI to play your games for you, because it's So Hard to look up strategies online. Great tech startup, guys.

    Attached: 1 image ICYMI: Playtron plan to launch PlaytronOS, a Linux-based system for gaming, although their statement on the Steam Deck being "Locked to the Valveverse" is easily demonstrably false https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/playtron-plan-to-launch-playtronos-a-linux-based-system-for-gaming/ #Linux #PCGaming #HandheldGaming
