I've been using my OnePlus 6t since launch and love it, but I am very interested in Linux phones now. I've been an early adopter before, but it's finally getting where I think I need it to be to try. I pretty much only do basic phone functions and emulation. Would a Pinephone Pro have the power to run something like a Wii or 3ds game? What about an older ported game like STALKER? Curious just how much it could do

    There's an open source engine for STALKER, so it has been ported to Linux ARM64. Possible, but questionable whether it's a good idea. Thank you for answering!

        Yeah, friend of mine has it running pretty well on his ARM64 Linux device, although I don't know what it is.

          I'd be curious to here what it is. I have used ARM64 devices for gaming in the past but struggled to even play OpenMW on low settings

            What's the newest device you've used? Would be a giant pain in the ass, but I'm curious what a Snapdragon 8 gen 2 could do for it. Our modern phones are really powerful, I think some of the newest ones could probably do OpenMW and STALKER given someone smarter than me was doing it 💀
