Bro i freaking love my mini. I have the 7840U version 2TB 64GB

@ny204193d 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for the great video. I have the gdp winmax2 7840u with 64gb and i really love it. I prefer the bigger screen than the mini however i feel that the winmax2 and mini are the leading handhelds so far.

you are the only one who bring this content ! Could you make a deeper review? How does it perform with nobar? does it worth to keep it? Battery improvment (maybe at lower tdp). Does freeze/wake up work properly?

Thanks! I'm planning on a bunch more content coming soon.

I see a few other people have commented about the sleep / suspend mode. Really thinking of getting a 2024 mini but the feature id miss the most from steamdeck is the suspend. But with the steam os install it looks like I may be able to retain that feature?

Very nice video, I'm waiting for my Win Mini 2024 to arrive. Did you set that startup video with the CSS loader? It would be great to have something cool like that on my Win Mini! Thanks for your work!

Thats awesome. Do you have a dual boot? Also a tutorial on the install would be great. Thanks for the video 👍

@Arcade1983 8 ай бұрын

I did not setup a dual boot. I switched totally over to Linux and honestly found it to be a great experience.

lol I have that plugin to controll the tdp but I didn't know that you can adjust directly from the tdp slider. I'm going to try it on my Ayn loki

Even the 120Hz refresh rate works? And the gyro as well? And the trackpad? I'd be astonished!

Yup that’s all working. The gyro requires emudeck to be installed.

hello. im running bazzite-deck on my mini 2024. i'm wondering for emudeck, which one should i choose ? Linux or steam deck ? should be linux right ?

@Arcade1983 2 ай бұрын

@@93SupaFly The Win Mini has a 16x9 screen compared to the steam deck that has a 16x10 screen. For that reason I choose Linux PC, this is a question for the developers from emudeck however. They will have a better understanding about whether that matters.

@Respectmyskill07 7 ай бұрын

Does the suspend feature work just like the Steam Deck where there's minimal battery drain in sleep, unlike Windows?

@Arcade1983 7 ай бұрын

That’s correct suspend works great and there is minimal battery drain.

I did ChimeraOS on my laptop and I can attest that it improved my battery life and it does suspend mode.

Make sure you reboot after installing the plug in. After thats complete you can adjust TDP with the slider in the plugin.

I don't understand, is this Nobara just o codename for Steam OS or is it a different OS which just mimics Steam OS? Btw got chills when I heard thad DS9 intro ☺

@Arcade1983 7 ай бұрын

I’m glad you enjoyed the intro. Nobara OS is a Linux distro meant to mimic Steam OS. It’s the closest thing we have to a general release of Steam OS.

@yoba1450 7 ай бұрын

@@Arcade1983 I see, thx for the explanation. I probably had a completely wrong understanding what SteamOS is. So basically, it is a modified Linux with some tools and console like UI, which in the end runs Steam client to play games? So in theory if I take any Linux (with drivers support for my HW) and install just a Steam client on it, it will play games basically the same as it would in SteamOS?

@Arcade1983 7 ай бұрын

With TDP control, you can get a lot of battery life out of the device. If you're playing more demanding games that will shorten the battery life significantly however.

@@KevjeffYT The hardware will use the same amount of wattage no matter what OS you are on. The differance here is, linux uses far fewer resources in the background so you can turn the TPD down and still get the same performance.
