It’s cool to see the handheld PC market taking off, but MS needs to offer a purpose-built version of Windows for these devices. Without something more console-like that compete with DeckOS these devices are doomed to have a disjointed and janky experience.

Nah, it's greatly improving game compatibility on Linux.

I love my steam deck. I'm okay with not being able to play some games on it yet if it means my gaming experience on pc keeps improving too because of it.

Game companies will also be incentivised to add native Linux support if the handheld pc market gets big enough and it's clear the experience is better on a custom Linux distro than something from ms

I worry that they might all just stick with Windows. ASUS also decided to go straight for Windows too.
