Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it
FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 1 week agoI’ve been seriously considering getting the anbernic sp but I know nothing about Linux (interested in Linux, hence being here, but not a tech person so), and very little about emulation honestly. Do you have any recommendations or advice for beginners? I’ve tried reading guides that say they’re for beginners but then they talk about knulli and stuff and I get real confused

They run Linux but you don’t need to know anything. They work out of the box. Guides are for upgrading to different user interfaces. You do need to learn how to make a copy of anl micro SD card because the ones that ship with the devices are extremely low quality and will quickly fail. I use the one from Raspberry Pi. It’s for installing pi OS but it does anything. www.raspberrypi.com/software/
Installing a different OS on a hand held is only picking a different image file like Knulli or GarlicOS when copying onto an SD card.

Thank you! This helps a lot bc I was worried I’d have to become a Linux master just to use one of these emulators
