Is the AYN Odin 3 the ultimate mini Steam Deck? Today, we are taking a look at Armada OS, a brand-new Linux-based operating system built specifically for ARM handhelds! If you've been wanting a true SteamOS experience on devices like the AYN Odin, AYANEO Pocket, or Retroid, this is the firmware you've been waiting for.
Get ARMADA OS HERE: github.com/virtudude/armada
In this video, I break down how Armada OS works, explore the built-in Desktop Mode, and test out the custom "Armada Control" TDP and performance menus (complete with Decky plugin support!). We also run through an installation guide, showing you the differences between booting from a MicroSD card versus flashing it directly to your internal storage alongside Android.
