    Hardware makers making the same mistakes over and over again…

    I’ll say it louder for the kids in the back, “DON’T BOTHER MAKING CUSTOM GAMING HARDWARE WITHOUT A CUSTOM GAMING OS”.

    Regardless of how you feel about Windows, it is not fit for purpose. It’s the wrong tool for the job.

      If this form factor is here to stay, and hopefully it is, Microsoft will probably adapt Windows to it (also hopefully). SteamOS is very good though, can manufacturers not just use that?

        I think other manufacturers aren’t using SteamOS for 2 main reasons:

        1: They get to brag about universal compatibility, even if that’s not a huge gap anymore

        2: They aren’t dependent on a direct competitor for their software
