    Right?! Like Value is giving away so much work for competitors to make good competing devices using FOSS and no one has really jumped on it yet.

      Windows is a selling point for these companies. Never mind the absolute shithole that is Windows UX without a keyboard and mouse, little Timmy can use it to play Roblox and Forkknife!

        For sure, and tbh to really take advantage of FOSS they would need to be tech companies in the first place (i.e. know how to hire developers and manage software projects). The next company that can actually value add on software to the product will have a real contender, till then it’s just hardware manufacturers filling in the shrinking niche of games that don’t run on the steam deck yet.
