Given many new handhelds coming on the scene and general disinterest of Microsoft to support the market, do you think SteamOS will take place of default OS the same way Android did on phones some time ago?

      Most of the SteamOS features are also available on Windows by launching Steam in big picture mode.

      No they aren’t. They’re vertically integrated. I don’t think you understand what the SteamOS features actually are. It’s more than just a GUI.

      Note: You can actually play Halo on a Steam Deck. I’ve played it with friends over the internet and two of us were on a Steak Deck and Linux desktop. The other two were on Windows. It worked well.

      (But, yeah, there still are a few other games that don’t have anti-cheat enabled, such as Fortnite and Destiny 2.)
