Do you have one of these? Do you use it? I want one but I'm afraid it's going to end up another plastic brick in a drawer.

I got the powkiddy X55. I only use it for ports. I really feel like the true power of these devices is in ports and native linux ARM games.

What good native Linux ARM games are there?

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok we can categorise them:

floss engines like raptor, am2r, quake, rvgl, sonic mania, devilution etc.
mono / fna games like Stardew, Celeste, tmnt, etc
freeware games like tyrian etc. There's a game jam version of dome keeper as well.

Just look at portmaster for some inspiration.

Thanks, it looks like a pretty diverse range!
