Looks promising, alternatives to R-PI that are modular are always a good thing.

He also has some other good videos and tutorials that are worth checking.

Video is very old but still up-2-date because we are almost there, the idea was even at that time not new but they finally had some hardware and some background research.

He basically explained how Bill Gates got his money, from IBM, to get into his PC business empire.

And about how Gates afterwards went to court and sued IBM because he said it was his code while in truth 100-500 people actually helped him to build the knowledge to actually do it.

Andrus claims that Bill Gates was at that time an Opportunist and that IBM should have handled it differently because there was no official contract given by IBM, which is why they ultimately lost in court back in the day.

I am actually in fav of IBM in this case and would rule for them, the entire thing was more depending on the fact that they did not made an official contract, it was purely a handshake thing, which was back in that time not special but Bill Gates saw his chance here and he knew he might win in court because of that.

There are also interesting videos about the whole court process and there are some interviews on YouTube framing Gates as liar but this is another story which I do not want to go into because that is something I do not want to show here nor was I involved into this.

I think that can benefit the community here since this dude basically explains why the CPU operates how it operates in beginners terms which are easy to understand.

Part of History now, since this might opens up new ways for Linux gaming + is the first handheld PC device that was officially supported on a bigger scale from Valve directly, which could lead new ways to promote and support Linux gaming for the mass.

250 games in the database, so far, as of today.

I decided to put this here under this category because you can use it mainly for gaming or install practically every OS you like and use it as portable PC or as tablet replacement, seconds screen at home or as mini PC replacement for your desk.
