I'm not really a gamer, but I had a look at Exofactory. Even works on ARM and RISC-V.

Exofactory
Exofactory is an indie factory game that explores the id and ego. As you build your factory the story unravels based on how you build. Available to wishlist on Steam now.

Nice to see more ARM desktops.
I don't think it's the first ARM desktop with UEFI. The DragonBox with the Phytium D2000 is able to boot a lot of different mainline images (I tested Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and some more).

32GB RK3588 boards are a bit of an oddity (at first the max was 16GB) and I think you always had to pay a hefty premium compared to the 16GB boards. And you can wonder with the limited processing power of the RK3588, if it really makes sense to buy a 32GB board.

That's no surprise. It's roughly twice as expensive and with newer generation CPU cores, and 4 additional cores, it's an expected result.
Kudos on getting NixOS working on it. Orange Pi isn't exactly known for good support.

Local chip manufacturing with RISC-V sounds like a match made in heaven.
For now I'm mainly playing with a SpacemiT K1 (Muse Pi Pro). I hope they will release the K3 (RVA23) in a couple of months.
I'm running a custom (vendor) Debian 13 image on the K1.

Niet alles werkt op Steam door anti-cheat software. Linux moet nog wat verder groeien (nu 3% op Steam), zodat het financieel pijn gaat doen om Linux uit te sluiten.
