    I don’t think the size difference works in the favour of lmg.

    If gamers nexus puts out pretty much industry leading day one reviews out on every launch with 5-6 people and LMG with labs and 100+ employees can’t then there’s something wrong.

    GN has a point LMG shits out videos without QC and it’s starting to bite them of late. The water block review is the perfect example of just being stupid. Why not just test the item with the right product and judge it for what it is as opposed to turning it into a joke review where no matter what the product is going to look bad.

    The short circuit thing with the mouse is also a bit ridiculous.

    But the charts are the main thing, I’ve noticed it myself over the years that lmg charts made no sense relative to gamers nexus or HUb or even jayz 2 cents which meant something was wrong with the testing.

    You know that’s not a Manjaro problem that’s a user problem, you’re specifically warned that AUR compatibility is not guaranteed with Manjaro https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository

    But people often ignore this and then complain that Manjaro isn’t stable.

    And yes Manjaro is fully rolling just because they delay packages a week doesn’t stop it being rolling, that’s like calling tumbleweed not a rolling release?

    I’m not arguing that Manjaro is better or worse than Arch just that if you use it as intended it functions correctly and is a good way to learn Linux and Arch.

    I think only endeavour and Manjaro still hold any use of the arch based distros.

    Endeavour generally has nice tools and is pretty much what you’d do with the install script so it just saves a few steps.

    Manjaro because it’s a gateway into learning arch for better or worse.

    But other than those two I don’t see the point of any other arch distros other than to be made for the sake of it.

    (I forgot steam os 3, but that’s a different topic)


  • I had an Aya Neo 2 at work the other day so here’s my brief take on it from an experience perspective.

    All the other hand held PC’s that aren’t the steamdeck are just that, hand held PC’s. When you reset or reinstall windows you have no drivers have to plug in a keyboard and mouse to get a driver package of about 19 different things before it’s usable then you need to install Aya Neo Space and have that auto launch at startup so that you somewhat get a hand held console experience.

    The deck by contrast is just a single recovery image that is good to go and just works.

    So I’d say if you want something that just works well buy a steamdeck while it may have less games than the others it truly is a pick up and play experience, if you want to tinker look into the others however I’d suggest you avoid the Ally due to the melting SD card issue for now.
