Is this gonna be another winshit handheld?
- Big chance. But more competition is always a good thing in my opinion.
  
  As long as they don't interfere with, say, Bazzite, all's good.
  I heard somewhere Microsoft is making a gaming UI for Windows 11 for devices like the Steam Deck, but dunno if there's any progress there.
  
  In general, yes, but I'm largely against giv8ng MSI money for the shady shit they've pulled
- Right?! Like Value is giving away so much work for competitors to make good competing devices using FOSS and no one has really jumped on it yet.
  
  Windows is a selling point for these companies. Never mind the absolute shithole that is Windows UX without a keyboard and mouse, little Timmy can use it to play Roblox and Forkknife!

Valve: Oh hey another thing you can buy games from us on 🤣
- It's the only company I'm OK with having a sort of monopoly.
  
  Man, people like you will end up regretting their opinion once Gabe retires/dies.

The more we have similar form factor competitors means more publishers will push to support them.
