mr_MADAFAKA@lemmy.ml 5 days agoFizz was comparing SteamOS vs Windows market share, which SteamOS/Linux is just 2.69% compared to windows, know with new windows for handhelds could kill any competition to Microsoft monopoly in PC ecosystem that Valve is trying to compete with SteamOS/Linux

Bro, he said a minority in the handheld space. Why would you use the number that included everything that is not handheld?
Competition in the handheld gaming device is good. Why would we want another category where Valve has a monopoly in?
I doubt Microsoft has what it takes to completely overcome Linux’s advantages, and the competition will not stifle SteamOS’s growth because it is a growing market. Both handheld OS can occupy its own niche that they are good at.
