Well, yes and no, at least with the xx line.

They come with their own firmware from the factory but installing a custom firmware is super easy, just flash to sd card and add your games.

I use MuOS on mine but there’s also KNULLI which is a fork of Batocera. I don’t know how well they support normal distros like Ubuntu Touch.

Here’s a good article about custom firmware on the xx line

They’re really fun devices, definitely recommend them 🙂

Dark Souls and Bloodborne are the only games I prefer to watch other people play. I love the look and atmosphere but can’t stand how they feel to play.

I got myself a retro handheld from Anbernic. Costs about the same as a AAA game and has pretty much become my main gaming device.

I think you probably could get a 350 down to 7mpg but you’d be driving like an absolute maniac to get it there. I dunno, 7 seems pretty bad

20mpg doesn’t really sound that far fetched for a 305 if you’re mostly doing highway. Mine was a '78 and got around 14 in the city when just commuting. That thing could drink a lot more with a heavier foot though, lol

Maybe yours was a 350?
