Yeah, but it doesn't come standard on these devices. It's literally just a full install of 11, with Teams and everything.
Seriously?!
Yeah, the Windows handhelds are basically glorified laptops. This was kind of the approach with the ROG ALLY anyways with the XGM port, allowing connection to an eGPU enclosure with up to a 4090 inside.
I have a ROG ALLY and I've debloated it to hell, but it'll never match the power savings I would achieve if it was Linux-based.
I've been following Chimera and Bazzite on their progression for developing distros for the Windows handhelds, but it's going to be a while before they will be fully viable on any handhelds.
Steam will always be ahead because they control the hardware and the software and they are able to fine tune the software to their very specific hardware, which is simply not happening for the Windows handhelds.
