Seemingly confirming the theory that “Xbox” will just be Windows going forward, at least on handhelds.

    Get fucked. After all the shit I’ve seen them pulling with Windows 11 they’ll never get a dime out of me again. I’ll ride my win 10 until it’s out of support then switch to Linux. Fuck monopolies, and fuck enshittification for profit.

      Don’t wait till support ends, it will make the switch more stressfull

        Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don’t need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.

          To add to this;

          Playing modern Windows games on Linux and SteamOS is done using Wine and Proton. Wine is available on almost every Linux distro and Proton comes* with Steam.

          *You can use Proton outside of Steam but it’s quite hacky and not really needed.

        Why do you want SteamOS though? Unless you’re making a Steam Machine there are better options out there for desktop usage.
