Handheld PC is a PC so you can install Linux aka HoloOS and it works as we’d expect.
Coders? Isn’t all that it takes is to load holoiso into a flash drive and install it on the ally?

Yup, as a software dev myself, I doubt anyone is really putting any development effort into it. Maybe a little config to map the controller properly or something, but it’s close enough hardware-wise that there really shouldn’t be much work involved.
There are firmware fixes and such that need to be implemented, so yes, coders.
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.
