Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS
(arstechnica.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Of course Linux is better for custom, purpose-built hardware. That's like, its main advantage for the commercial sector.
Stop, you're making me too hard. I might be able to like, ditch Windows if that happens.
Like FSR and such? That's available on Linux (FSR 1.x is integrated into SteamOS for compositor-level upscaling). AFAIK AMD does not officially support FSR on Linux but it's written in a way that it should work with minor integration work. It's written with cross-platform support in mind, given that it's targeting PlayStation etc. als well.
Yeah, the sole reason I don't have linux on my old laptop is that lenovo has completely proprietary video drivers for it. I'm talking "manufacturer's installers don't think there's a video card there" proprietary.
