At least GPD Win now considers Linux important enough to now try to make up claims to some sort of partnership. Lenovo ships SteamOS devices. Zotac ships Manjaro devices. Good trajectory for Linux on handhelds

Dunno if these companies think Linux is better…it certainly is cheaper than windows licensing, so they profit more.

A good thing done for a bad/selfish reason, is still a good thing done.

Might be a marketing thing, since the big ones are all using some variant of Linux as an option on their handhelds now. I also only remember one using Windows as a positive part of their marketing, and haven't seen anything from them in a good while
