        Arch is a fucking terrible OS, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. You spend days configuring shit just for it all to break when you update because “haha I can update whenever I want and get cool stuff before any of you newbs!”

        Yeah, go ahead and downvote me if you want, because SteamOS is based on Arch. I bet you’re not willing to each the things that look like alien maggots that chocolates’s based on.

        Fuck Arch.

    No doubt it will be another handheld running Windows though instead of Linux

    I will game on a Windows based PC, but Linux is a must have on hand held - Windows is too resource intensive, developers are not going to be able to get the same OS optimization out of Windows that they can with Linux

    Aw dam, everybody’s jumping on this bandwagon now, aren’t they? Alienware took a crack at it, then ASUS, and now MSI.

    Everybody laughed at GPD for making a handheld PC, and then Valve pulled it off and now everybody wants a piece of the pie

      Good, let them. Let every company take a swing, and let 2-3 actually get a serious foothold that survives as a real option, and becomes a reliable machine.

      Theres only been 3 consoles for too long. I love that valve has made the steam deck into a computer console, and want to see more options and variations.

      It was the same thing back when Nintendo released the Gameboy and people started making portable genesises and tiger portables

    Is the market not getting saturated at this point? The non old steam deck is ridiculously cheap.

    How many companies can make this work at a profitable level?
