As long as steamOS is the only player in the game then epic has no reason to come to the table. They don’t want to make steamOS better its their direct competition.
That’s why a neutral platform could be a good addition to the Linux handheld space.
Like 5 different Windows-based handhelds launched in response to Steam Deck. ASUS ROG being the biggest player I believe. There isn’t a shortage of options here. Valve just has the best product right now, chill out.
Ok so because valve has a good linux handheld operating system then no one else should make a competing Linux handheld system. Why are you so against the idea of more people contributing to the Linux eco system.
No. As I said before, plenty are making these PC-style handhelds. There is no shortage of options out there. The CONSUMER is choosing the Steam Deck. It’s just the most popular right now.
I’m missing what you’re angry about with regards to this. Steam Deck is great. I’m sure the ASUS ROG one is great. What’s the problem?
I have no idea why you think I’m the one that’s angry. I’m talking about linux handheld operating systems and all you’ve done is bring up that other handhelds exist running windows. I’m aware of that and it’s not relevant to my original point at all.

Okay, if not angry, then what is wrong about SteamOS? Subsequently, what is wrong with the Windows-Based ROG handheld? Where’s your beef?
More competition is a good thing. More people making handhelds means rhe space is growing and tech is being pushed forward.
No where in my comments do I care or mention the amount physical handheld types. I’ve only mentioned the competition between operating systems.
I think you solidly misunderstand the space, how the OS portion of this works, and how users engage with that. I will leave it at that.
