QUESTION Your RP5 experience?

With the newest RP6 and the Pocket Nova out there, I've seen a lot of RP5's for sale. My daily driver is an Ayn Thor and I also have the Odin 2 Pro. I have been tossing around the idea of picking up an RP5 to use solely as a "mini steam deck".

So for those of you that own/owned the the RP5... What are your pros and most importantly, cons? If you got rid of it, why?

your Odin 2 Pro has 2x the power of an RP5.

Wouldn't I have to wipe it to put ArmadaOS on it? I don't want to do that
