Linux with xorg on a handheld game console

I watched

and I immediately purchased an Anbernic RG35XXSP. The

had been updated to resolve some issues shown in the video prior to me receiving my console. I was able to install XFCE on the 64 bit aarch64 update to the device (latest modified firmware available online).

The small screen and partition layout made emacs a no go - stuck at emacs 27 in the ubuntu repos, and didn't care to clear enough space off the device to compile emacs 29 or 30 after dealing with the v27 install on the small screen. Vim of course works great.

I guess I will see how much use I make on what is basically a super small laptop. Bluetooth on the device only connects to game controllers, but the USB C pot support OTG, so a wireless keyboard with a touchpad and a 2ghz dongle works great.
