Pretty cool.
They need to make a grip for the controllers like the one for Joycons.

It’s nice to see portable PC gaming become easy, but at least for me, it’s not just about that. The Steam Deck has raised the bar, by also bringing freedom from Microsoft’s ecosystem by default. I would rather have it.
(And I would rather give my money to Valve, who have been investing significantly in making that ideal a reality.)

Not to diminish Aya or GPD for bringing hardware to market, but Valve is also funding the developers of critically important open-source software that makes Windows games run well without Windows, and is providing support for whatever problems come up, with great success. It has dramatically changed the Linux gaming experience not only for handhelds, but also on the desktop.

Valve doesn’t get the credit it deserves for innovating if not keeping alive the PC space. Steam came out at a time where PC gaming was dying on store shelves, there was no support for it by triple A publishers…it was a dark time. And everyone hated Steam at first. Took a lot of work attracting smaller/indie devs to the platform to prove itself as a viable option for larger publishers.
They’ve proven that Linux is a great operating system for games, and without the overhead that is Windows. The ability to natively play Windows games isn’t enough of a draw for me to use the Ally or Legion.

Microsoft is not freedom. It’s vendor locking.

Thats why they said it brings freedom FROM Microsoft.
