Given many new handhelds coming on the scene and general disinterest of Microsoft to support the market, do you think SteamOS will take place of default OS the same way Android did on phones some time ago?

I thought it would but it's been over a year and still no one is shipping with it.

Harsh take, these companies have very little in-house software talent and are too cheap to pay for it. That’s why they ship garbage Windows software instead.

Eventually SteamOS could work out of the box but currently requires some understanding.

What I mean is, I thought for sure Valve would make the OS available to third parties. Maybe even work with them to get it running properly on their hardware.
