Manufacturers keep coming up with “competitors”, but don’t even attempt to compete with SteamOS and just slap Windows on it and do like the bare minimum and just leaves it to the user to deal with Windows and get their games to work.
The Deck’s UX is good because you download your games, hit play, they launch, you play, and move on with your life. It’s reproducible, it’s reliable, no bullshit, works exactly the same on everyone’s Deck. That’s definitely not the Windows experience even when you try.
The Deck’s magic is that it’s all the freedom of a PC, with the experience of a console. This is just a handheld PC with minimal effort put into it.
