One could think they forgot about a product page and needed someone to quickly cobble together something. The truly funny thing is that they include fonts and a heavy css framework for three images that don’t use any of that.

Apparently it is a real device and not fake or a scam like some were suggesting. It is currently being featured at Fosdem at the KDE booth even and it seems to be featuring the SteamOS interface but seemingly on a Manjaro based os.
I assume this means they have taken the HoloISO bits like the gamescope session and interface but rebased it on Manjaro but it could also just mean they forked and rebranded it as Manjaro (and possibly delay updates for two whole weeks in the name of stability).
It’s the first linux first handheld device next to the Steam Deck and even comes with two touchpads that look strikingly similar to the Deck ones but never would I have imagined it being featured by Manjaro. The specs look impressive though the design reminds me of the early Steam Deck prototypes Valve showed once that equally featured a glossy finish.
Let’s see whether it earns another entry on the list of Manjaro fuckups.

Talos Principle 1 + Gehenna (Had it for years in my library collecting dust), finished it to 100% and am currently playing Talos Principle 2. These games are absolute gems and not even expensive for what you get, too. The people at Croteam are genuine masters of their craft.
Outer Wilds and its DLC is my absolute favorite game of all time and the best I might have ever played. Full stop. There is just so much to it that one doesn’t expect from the surface. It was an experience I still think back to every now and then.
Currently playing Cruelty Squad and enjoying it quite, too.
Yeah, looking at the weekly recap stream where they actually talked about it, it is indeed a new anti cheat like you mention that (according to their own statement) is still more effective than “what they have now” (that being eac). https://youtu.be/nIay2Aq2ars?t=702 Apparently they want to do a stream again with the team from Faceit talking about it in more detail.
Looking through their Discord it seems there hasn’t been any details yet regarding how this is going to work if this indeed is real. I highly doubt Faceit would want to vastly weaken their effectiveness on Linux in the same way EAC and Battleye do by running it as a user process. Even if just speculation, that would mean a kernel module that would need secure boot enabled (though even that is not required for the windows variant in battlebit) with a signed kernel and so on and would only work for specific distros?
For the rare occasion that I need Windows bare metal, I have a Windows 11 installation on a usb ssd originally installed via the Rufus Windows-To-Go option that I can just plug into the system and boot off it whenever I need it without it touching my uefi menu or partition on my internal drives. This way I can also use it on another machine if that need arises. Windows can even trim the usb drive it’s running on. It pretty much works as if installed internally.
