Takes on the steam deck - oh!
Costs 2 - 3x - oooooh
Yeah most people won't pay that for a handheld.
I'd consider it if it was SteamOS, since I love the Steam Deck, but it's performance is just shy of where I'd like it to be.
No SteamOS is a hard pass from me though. I've just finished ditching Windows on my gaming PC, I don't intend to back step back to Windows, especially on a handheld.
every time I see these my first thought is if its linux. If its not linux its not a steamdeck competitor.

Hard agree with you. I don't own a handheld, but have friends with steamdecks and a friend who has an ROG Ally. My buddy installed Linux on his ally, and the experience is objectively worse than the steamdeck.
yeah. I want the company to support it as a linux device to.
