Am I the only one who feels like putting Windows on a handheld is like installing Symbian on an iPhone? It's evolution in reverse, returning to monke if you will.

@steamdeckhq The first handheld with touchpads that isn't just a Steam Deck with a flashed drive. My worry with these handhelds is just how much the touchpads add to the price of products in a sector that already struggles with prices.

@flux That’s valid. The problem is Valve and ASUS have either deals or other ways to recoup the costs, while the other companies don’t. It makes this market super competitive, which can be a hit to some fantastic other devices.

@steamdeckhq if they could just offer a SteamOS preload option outside of CN that'd be great.

Not that I'd buy one. Already have the Deck.

@root Valve just needs to make SteamOS publicly available first 😭

@steamdeckhq ...okay fair.

@steamdeckhq any sign of their Linux distro, and whether support will come for this device?

@jonathan not yet no, but that’s a great question. Will follow up and ask about it.
