Quoting: MohandevirIf it is Zen AMD APU based, chances are that it will be more powerfull than the actual Nintendo Switch and will probably play in the same league. If Atari gets back into the publishing game again for futur titles, this is the Linux box I've been waiting for. Mine! Mine! Mine! :)

More informations:

"While there are no firm specs revealed (as of writing) beyond the use of a ‘customised’ AMD CPU and Radeon graphics, we do know that the machine will be sold in a range of 'memory configurations'."

Looking forward to these 'memory configurations'.

I hate to nitpick, but we have the exact same info in the article, especially since we are the source of OMG's news for this ;)

Quoting: Guestsounds better than a steamlink. With full baseOS access, it could be modded into something useful like any other platform. In fact, why can't I find these low power amd embedded boards on the market ?

Well, it sounds like they're not using anything already available, since it uses some custom components. It's funny to see so many people saying it's an expensive raspberry pi across the net, when in fact it's very different. Since this won't be ARM-based, it should run any Linux game it has the specs to be playable.

Yeah that's a bit silly for a number of reasons. For one a Raspberry pi setup costs a lot more that just the board, you need a power supply, quality case, storage, controller, etc before you can even start comparing the basics such as performance (of which the pi has very little).

This device also sounds much more useful than those limited Nintendo consoles people have been falling over to get their hands on. At this price I'll give this device a go, worst case scenario I have a nice looking media player.

My thoughts exactly. It will either be a good indie/retro gaming console that can help Linux gaming carve another gaming place, or it will end up being a rather nice unit to tinker with and be a fun little media player.

It might even make a fantastic unit for kids.

The information was from the press release. It's also confirmed in interviews with other sites, but our source is the press information sent out.

Seems the source email can be viewed in the browser: http://us16.campaign-archive2.com/?u=514d5e8e2ca64b78c0c6f5a2e&id=600c7d1b9d [External Link]

Thanks for the feedback about the Wine question, it is appreciated.

I again agree the adjusted answers still weren't great. The question and answers were still a bit too ambiguous.

I've had a re-think on it and I've adjusted the Wine question to be much more specific. The question is now "When was the last time you used Wine to play a Windows game?" with these options:

• "In the last month"


• "In the last three months"


• "In the last six months"


• "Over six months ago"


• "I never use it"

I think that about covers that one, in regards to getting to make sense and be useful.

Additionally, I am also thinking on adding in the question about how many games you play in Wine, as that could be interesting to see too, but that will come later.

I've wiped all previous answers to the Wine question.
