I'd love for something more casual than steam deck (cheaper) but more powerful than a oven processor.

A mini deck that can play everything from atari to ps3 games or games from 2015.

Somewhere in the 100 to 150 dollar range.

Yeah the retro gaming handheld community has some Linux viable ones with PortMaster but its just not the same as an officially supported mini Steam machine. I know its silly but I want one that is pocket-able instead of the massive SD.

That being said I love the Miyoo Mini Plus and other linux handhelds. They are flipping awesome!

I believe retroid pocket 5 can run Linux but I don't know what the current price is. The Ayn devices can also run Linux but thet are more expensive.
