TL;DR
- A developer has released Starboard for Android, which is an unofficial port of the PortMaster app for Linux handhelds.
- Starboard gives you access to hundreds of ported Linux games, including Diablo, Doom, Balatro, and more.
- The app is free to download from GitHub or via Obtainium.
One of the best reasons to get a Linux handheld is the PortMaster app. This is a repository of games that have been ported to Linux, giving you quick access to a large library of titles. Fortunately, you can now run PortMaster on Android thanks to this unofficial app.
The Starboard app was released on GitHub last month, and it’s an unofficial PortMaster client for Android. This allows you to easily install and play a wide variety of games that were ported to Linux by the community. Starboard runs these games via a Debian-based Linux runtime on Android.
