Interesting. Similar to the ONEXPLAYER 2 and 2 Pro, with the 8inch screen and detachable controllers. So many buttons! I wonder if the detachable controllers works as is or if you need a controller dock like the OXP2.

I bet that is Microsoft getting scared, that the Steam Deck is taking it's market share and paying Lenovo etc. to make Windows handhelds.

The UX will never be as good as the Steam Deck though since Windows just isn't made for that

You get used to it though. You can also set your launcher of choice to run on startup or use something like playnite and use which ever store is cheapest for any given game.

You get used to having a long drive to work as well. But who wants to get used to that if you don't have to. Same reasoning applies here. SteamOS is so, so good. Why would I want to switch to something with performance leaks? To play competitive FPS games on my handheld? That's not why I have one (plus I could get windows on an external sd if I really wanted to).

I'm close to making a full on swap from windows to Linux. I just need to research in home game streaming first since I often sit on my laptop downstairs playing a game that runs on my gaming pc through Parsec.
