With SteamOS coming, Microsoft needs to up its game in the handheld gaming market [if it's going to compete] (www.xda-developers.com)

This article does a good job of talking about how poor the windows experience on a handheld is, and why SteamOS could dominate handheld devices if windows doesn't start to make serious changes to improve it's useability and performance.

To be clear, I don't want to see windows succeed here, I would absolutely love to see SteamOS take over the handheld space and be a real linux ambassador to show people that they do have other choices than windows for their computers.

Still waiting for the latest steamOS iso to put in my desktop… switched to endeavourOS in preparation so I get used to the arch experience. Still eager to check it out when it does eventually release but this system has been fantastic for gaming.

I did something similar actually. My only experience with arch was using manjaro years ago, and I had a lot of instability and broken systems after updates. I swore off arch-based distros for years because of it.

After valve announced they would use arch as their base for steamOS, I was skeptical that arch would be a good base for a consumer product and decided to try it again. I picked Endeavour for easy install, and it was great. Turns out all the issues I had with Manjaro before were more of a Manjaro issue than an arch issue.

I've been using endeavour as my main OS ever since, and it's been great.
