Not with windows you can’t, which is the OS the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use.
Most people don’t replace SteamOS on their device so I don’t think that’s true. Plasma is a perfectly suitable replacement for Windows unless you really need access to Adobe products or something.
There’s more that work and work better on Windows than Linux than there are the other way around though.
True but It’s a number that is shrinking every day. We are down to about ~100 games at this point that explicitly cannot work? I play a lot of games and I can’t remember the last time I tried to play a game and it didn’t work because I was on Linux.
lol not everyone that likes a different OS is a “stan”. The meme in the OP is about windows on steam deck competitors. I’m pointing out why windows on steam deck competitors has lots of benefits. Why can’t you handle that?
i haven’t even personally seen any of these things. so no, I literally can’t handle that. i’m also very annoyed buy steam and valve, in general. but windows? windows is the worst.
i’m comfortable with windows and with linux. the hardware in all these things is interesting. so you want to go with proprietary software. love you for it.
I’m fine with proprietary software, yes. I go with the software that best meets my needs, and that’s Windows. I’m not saying you can’t prefer linux, I’m just giving my reasons why Windows is what most people prefer.
the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use
you state this as fact yet my experience has been that people hate using windows for its UI on handhelds and only tolerate it because everything’s made for it. that’s not a shining point for windows, quite the opposite.
the steam deck surpassed a million devices sold - so while over 50% of people probably still want windows, i wouldn’t say its an “overwhelming” majority. tons of people clearly like valve’s take on linux even despite its limitations

Yeah I’m saying that with an Ally for example you essentially have a fully functioning windows pc, whereas with steamOS you don’t.
I don’t think there is any confusion about that
so you’re a windows stan, or what’s you deal?

You’re not on many gaming forums then, especially not PC ones.
Windows is the best PC operating system there is because basically everything is made for it and everything works on it.
i meant I’ve never physically been near one of these things, specifically the Steam Deck or its competitors.
yeah, I’m not. i build my own, but i don’t need that toxic silly trash.
Ok cool, so you probably shouldn’t be having this conversation about things you’re not seeing.
