Amusing to look at this list of handheld gaming PCs
<https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/handheld-gaming/best-pc-gaming-handhelds>.
Note that the “best overall” and “best budget” category winners are
both Linux-based. If it wasn’t for separate categories just for
Windows-based products, they wouldn’t get a look in at all.

It’s particularly hilarious to see the “best budget Windows gaming
handheld”:

$649.99 for the Z1 Extreme version isn't usually what we consider
budget, but compared to the Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go, it's the
closest you'll get on Windows. It is your cheapest Windows option,
at the moment, though the real value choice, the $499.99 Z1
(non-extreme) version is a poor performer.

In other words, the only ones price-competitive with the Steam Deck
are simply not worth buying. By all means buy Windows if you have more
money than sense; but if you want the superior product, stick to
Linux.
