Now that you mention it, that is the same logo as the SBC manufacturer. I though Orange Pi was just the name of the SBC but it appears to be both. Still confusing, given the clear reference in the company name, but I digress.
Going with #HoloISO doesn’t seem like it would make much sense to me. As far as I understand it is something like an unauthorized derivative of #SteamOS so you’d be putting yourself at Valve’s whims without Valve okaying it and no voice at all in the development process.
I like getting the dev team of an open distro involved, I guess #ChimeraOS might have been better if they fit that description as well though.
ChimeraOS is basically a totally hardware-agnostic version of SteamOS, though instead of forking SteamOS it’s more like a re-implementation of it from an Arch base.
I mean, Orange Pi never made the SoCs to begin with, so it could well be they’re designing the SBC and just using an AMD laptop chip for this one

Still think Manjaro is a dumb choice.
You and me both. Could’ve gone with ChimeraOS or HoloISO or even just Arch and it would’ve been better.
Arch requires a keyboard though.
The OS for Steam Deck and Manjaro are both forks of Arch, last I checked, no?
Yes SteamOS is a heavily modified fork of Arch. But the important thing really is the Gamescope compositor and controller-first operation.
