TL;DR
- AYN has announced initial support for Linux on the Odin 3 handheld.
- This means you can turn the device into one of the most powerful Arm-based Linux handhelds.
- You’ll likely have to wait for distributions like Rocknix if you want to run Linux on the Odin 3.
Who says you have to choose between Android and Linux on your handheld? Certainly not AYN, as the device maker has previously implemented Linux support on its older handhelds. Now, there’s good news if you want to run Linux on your Odin 3.
AYN announced on Discord that it has just brought initial support for Linux (v7.0) to the Odin 3. The company says it’s also updated Linux support on the Odin 2 series and Thor in line with the new version.
