Yeah most people won't pay that for a handheld.

I'd consider it if it was SteamOS, since I love the Steam Deck, but it's performance is just shy of where I'd like it to be.

No SteamOS is a hard pass from me though. I've just finished ditching Windows on my gaming PC, I don't intend to back step back to Windows, especially on a handheld.

every time I see these my first thought is if its linux. If its not linux its not a steamdeck competitor.

Hard agree with you. I don't own a handheld, but have friends with steamdecks and a friend who has an ROG Ally. My buddy installed Linux on his ally, and the experience is objectively worse than the steamdeck.

yeah. I want the company to support it as a linux device to.

I'll pay that for a handheld that can do 100fps in CS2 and BO3at 1080p. I'll turn down even that if it's windows. If I'm installing Bazzite, it'll be because I don't want the immutable SteamOS rather than because I was stupid enough to pay a company for a Windows license.

Bazzite is also immutable though....

You can disable SteamOS being immutable.

I couldn't even get it to let me use a password.

For the root user? I haven't tried it so I can't really help with that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah. I couldn't even get it to make me other users.
