After the big release of ChimeraOS 46 recently that further expanded the gaming handheld support with this Linux distribution, ChimeraOS 46-1 is out now to clean up some issues.

Unfortunately, some users discovered a black screen problem across AMD RX 400/500 GPUs, which this release fixes. You will need to run a manual update to get around it as detailed in the release notes.

The main changes for this release are:

  • Restores support for AMD RX 400/500 series GPUs with a workaround for gamescope (Thank you to the Bazzite team).
  • Reverted Aya Neo 2/2S to use full resolution by default.
  • A fix for automatic recovery when the filesystem is corrupted.
  • Fix sound on some AYN and AYANEO devices broken by v46.

You have a few good choices to run Linux on handhelds now, and it's great to see! Generally a much better overall experience compared to how much of a nuisance Windows is on a small screen. Bazzite is another good option that also recently had a big update!

What's your preferred choice for handheld gaming?
