Not entire true. Valve created a compatibility layer called Proton which is what allows Windows based games to play on Linux. A huge majority of the Steam library is compatible with Steam Deck now. The big thing that's also held up Windows based handheld PCs is Windows. The OS just doesn't work well with handheld devices like that. But, that does seem to be finally getting addressed with Windows being optimized for handheld PCs, which does help with the rumors about an Xbox handheld. If MS is able to nail the OS, that could be a bit of a detriment to Steam Deck because it now offers the same functionality that Steam Deck offered from the start, just with more consumer friendly practices such as right to self repair. |
Agreed, Microsoft badly needs to make a proper handheld OS, which they probably are considering the rumors that the Xbox handheld will release within the next 2 years.
