If you don’t know who Gamma is, he’s the smart, smart fellow behind GammaOS, an alternate operating system built for a ton of retro handhelds. It is built on LineageOS to improve on nearly every aspect of the default OS which ships with handhelds.

I reached out to Gamma a fair while back about interviewing him and have since befriended him, and am pretty happy to be able to share his story on how/why he got started, and what goes into all the work he does.
If you’re a fan of retro handhelds and emulation, I’m sure you’ll find this interesting. I got him to specifically detail what went into his work for Anbernic’s recent RG DS handheld, too
As ever, if you want to read through the interview, you can find it here:
