[Windows] can make the experience crippling for non-technically minded users

Wild seeing this in an article talking about Linux.

- It's very often true, though. Windows has pretty graphics, but doing anything technical that doesn't work out of the box is fucking obscure.

  What do you mean, the registry is a perfect piece of software, crystal clear on how or why it works the way it does !

  Not even too technical stuff. Settings which a slightly advanced user might need or want to change are freaking spread out across 3 different applications. Good luck finding it through the their amazing search.

- Linux works better on appliances than Windows does, and this is really just one of those areas where you can see it in action. Great to see another OEM jump on the wave -- it benefits the whole market.

- First, they will ignore you, then they will laugh at you, then they will fight you and then you win.

Here is from their website which also says "AYANEO NEXT LITE comes pre-installed with the SteamOS gaming system for the first time".

Interesting.

Anyone know the status of Valve "generalizing" that? Or is the idea going to be that ayaneo will work on a delay as they swap out drivers and all the other "immutable" stuff?

- You can install SteamOS on your PC. As long as ayaneo's handheld can run Linux, it should be able to run SteamOS.

  There is also HoloISO which is based on Steam Deck's version of SteamOS: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

  Yeah. valve have George Foreman syndrome. That is the old SteamOS that was used with Steam Machines. You can tell because it is based on debian rather than arch
  
  I would actually be shocked if ayaneo were trying to pull that scam (and the promotional stuff definitely looks like modern steamdeck version of big picture).
