These companies still don’t understand why Nintendo has such a strangle on the handheld market. No one playing on handheld cares about performance benchmarks. They care if the game works and is fun. And they care about a good user experience.
Valve nailed it with proton, so that’s why Linux gaining is increasing so quickly. If you force Windows, it doesn’t matter if you get a hundred more frames a second. You’re gonna have a shitty user experience.
It's not even just the os, don't get me wrong that's a huge part of it but the control layouts and the quality of the buttons on all these other competitors to the steam deck are just garbage. Why the absolute fuck does no one want to do symmetrical joysticks, I will never use asymmetrical joysticks. Why does everything need to be offset and weird and why is the touchpad always an afterthought shoved into the smallest possible corner. I use the touchpads on the steam deck literally constantly, either for radial menus or even in games like factorio just as a mouse
It is also the OS.
Windows doesn't let you have a Steam Deck experience because its against the ToS. Once you don't care about the user experience, why would you care about the HID?
