The IncastroPC test
Fabio Graziosi · November 2026Disney Speedstorm is a colorful, fun kart racer, a sort of Asphalt with a Disney twist that doesn't thrill us adults as much but is a big hit with the little ones. It runs perfectly on Linux and offers quick races with solid online features.
What we liked
- +Runs great on Linux
- +Short, dynamic races, ideal for quick sessions and online multiplayer matches
- +Great out-of-the-box controller compatibility
Less convincing
- −For adult players it can feel a bit repetitive or "toy-like"
- −Progression structure and style very close to mobile titles (Asphalt-style)
How we tested it
Performance
Average FPS over 6 min 41 s of gameplay, measured with MangoHud. The line marks 60 FPS. Average FPS: how many frames per second on average. 1% low: the FPS in the worst moments (the slowest 1% of frames). The closer the 1% low is to the average, the smoother the game, without stutters.
Also applies to other mini PCs with the same Radeon 780M graphics: Ryzen 7 8845HS, Ryzen 7 8745HS, Ryzen 9 7940HS Same integrated graphics, so similar FPS. They can vary a bit with RAM (speed and dual channel) and with the power limit set by the manufacturer.
Test timeline
Power is the processor's (CPU and graphics) as read by MangoHud: at the wall it's a few watts more. Lighter areas are pauses, menus or loading screens (3 seconds), left out of the calculation.
Let's talk about Disney Speedstorm, a game that slots straight into the arcade kart racer category, but with a strong "mobile" footprint reworked in grand style, vaguely recalling the philosophy of an Asphalt for a younger audience. It might not blow us adults away and it can get tiring after a while, but you have to admit the game is well made, polished and hugely entertaining: my 10-year-old daughter, for example, plays it happily and has a blast with it.
From a technical and Linux-experience standpoint, the game gets top marks. We tested it on a Mini PC with a Ryzen 7 7840HS and Radeon 780M integrated graphics, using CachyOS (Kernel 7.3.1) and GE-Proton10-26. The game runs smoothly, races are short, which is perfect for unwinding or quick matches, and the online side for taking on other players delivers without hiccups or weird lag. Controller support is great too (tested with an 8BitDo Ultimate 2): it's detected right away and responds perfectly to your inputs on the track.
All in all, if you have kids or you're after a carefree, super smooth arcade pastime to run on your Mini PC, Speedstorm holds its own, pairing super colorful graphics with rock-solid stability on Linux.
