Imagine competition being a bad thing. Is anyone complaining that there are too many laptop choices?

Steam opening SteamOS to other handhelds would be huge, though. Windows is painful.

There's too many cars. Wouldn't we be happier if everyone drove a Ford?!?

There are SteamOS-like alternatives for other handhelds though, like ChimeraOS and Bazzite, and in many ways they even work better (due to faster updates, more software/frontend options etc).

I mean it is tho. It’s just not easy to get working when your system uses Nvidia graphics.

Which obviously can’t install SteamOS…

So the handhelds that aren’t on par with Steam Deck don’t pan out? Competition is still good.
