Playing Tomb Raider GOTY with Steam ARM Beta, on a Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon QCS6490 SBC running Fedora 45 Beta.
I wasn't expecting around 24fps at 1080p normal quality. Valve really has improved SBC gaming with Proton ARM64.

As Microsoft killed Windows Subsystem for Android, I'm testing MUMUPlayer. The Windows on ARM version is in Beta, but it looks promising. You can even use Vulkan. I had some stability issues. Not sure if they are caused by the crappy Windows Vulkan driver.

A quick test of Fedora 45 Beta on the Raspberry Pi 4. I will also try to get Fedora working on more SBCs. You can use the raw image, to install directly on the raw image.

Arx Libertatis is an open-source engine to play the game Arx Fatalis. I built it on RISC-V. If you run it with OpenGL ES, you might have an issue with the menu text (you can use PortMaster for a fix).

As a sort of protest against the current state of the gaming industry, and Microsoft in particular, a prototype of Project Dream for SNES was released on the Internet Archive. This game was cancelled, but turned into the start for Banjo-Kazooie.

My first test with llama-server, so you can use llama.cpp with a WebUI. You can start it with --host 0.0.0.0, to make it available on the network.

I tried to get llama-tts (text-to-speech) working on RISC-V, but I got an error. I downloaded llama.cpp 0.4.0 for ARM Linux, and I can generate an audio file with llama-tts and Qwen3 TTS 12Hz 1.7B Base.
