A new Linux (& NextUI) CFW for RG rotate. 6 seconds boot time from cold!

I built a Frankenstein CFW based on a mix of rg-rotate-linux and NextUI, with video previews. Heavily optimised to boot as fast as possible.

This is the perfect scenario for me, this allow me to switch off the handheld after every game session to save on battery and quickly get back in gaming session when I have a few minutes to play. I have mild ADHD so if a handheld takes over 30 seconds to boot my mind is already elsewhere lol.

Messy code atm but If there is any interest in it I'll release the source and build freely on Github.

Happy gaming!

If you all self-identify as lazy then how exactly do you hope to change anything at all?

Mainly the title.
Deep down we all know, identifying as lazy isn't actually cool. No great changes has been made by anyone in history who was lazy. Chronically Online - i.e. no control over the brain and the activity of the body. So what exactly is the plan here?

Unemployed, Lazy, Chronically Online and ranting aren't hard things to do, anyone can do it and hence such massive support. I hope something good comes out of it, fingersscrosed.

Steam ARM running on Odin 3 with Rocknix!
Pretty excited for what the space holds for us in the near future. This is just the beginning and it's the first nightly build, so still a bit buggy. For some games you may still want to stick to Gamenative. But it will only get better from here.
Less translation layer combined with raw power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite should make this device perform just as well if not better than Steamdeck running on old hardware.

10 sec boot time from cold.
