So I have a pet peeve to talk about here, I'm excited for the Atari box as I have some inside information that is officially confirmed about it (unfortunately am not allowed to talk about it :-C) and I see people out there saying it is "an underpowered Linux steam machine)...

How the fuck are people coming to this conclusion when the specs, OS or anything technical about it haven't even been released yet?!

Why must people immediately assume that because it's not a standard windows PC it must be a piece of shit?

Boggles my mind that so many people can be so defensive and go on the offence without knowing anything.

Just so I can clarify, I'm a console gamer, Linux lover yet still develop for windows and the like so this isn't a biased rant and I know people will look at this, see the word Linux and go on the attack... So... Just... Chill?

    Atari was my first gaming console back in 1989 and I became a proud owner of an Atari Lynx in 1992!
    I hope you'll get more news about Atari in the future! 😃

    @Qaldim so do I!
    The Atari box seems like a smart piece of kit for developrrs as long as they develop for Linux

    @BigMacca101 I don't hold any particular love for Linux myself either, but that doesn't mean there's no potential for Linux gaming. I just hope they'll start making new games too rather than making it a nostalgia emulator.

    @Qaldim exactly, if they can make it an appealing platform, fantastic!

    As long as it doesn't turn into an overpowered retropi it should do well
