    Windows on a handheld will always be a shit experience. And nobody will dare bringing out a Linux machine because then Daddy Nadella will be angry. The deck will retain its dominant position for a while yet.

    Depends on how you decide who gets the “throne”. Lots of people tout the higher frame rates and resolutions on other devices as an upgrade, even if you don’t.

    I don’t really care for the track pads, personally, and would prefer the smaller size like the Ally. I like the larger display and detachable controllers on the Legion Go.

    The “Steam-like” OSs like HoloISO, Chimera and Bazzite can deliver the SD software experience.

    I still think Steam Deck is the “correct” answer based on price and customer support but I can see why some might prefer otherwise. Especially if you play one of those shitty games that only works on Windows.
