Look I know I am kicking a hornet's nest here. First of all I am a Linux supporter, I have used the green Ubuntu since 2012, and I have been gaming on it since 2022.

But I am really curious about how the new ally 2 with the Xbox tweaked version of win 11 is going to turn out. Not that I would use it, if I get a handheld it will probably run Bazzite. But since Bazzite is basically a purpose built Linux OS for handhelds, I think the best comparison would be the Xbox team's purpose built Windows 11 for handhelds.

I still believe Microsoft will take the loss even with the tweaked version, but just like how we will cry if they put for example Hannah Montana Linux and Microsoft beats it somehow in certain examples with their new Xbox win 11 mobile.

The issue is that you are comparing david to goliath. Its okay to compare the two but lets not act as if we're not comparing the homemade go kart to a ferrari that has gotten trillions in funding over the years.

Linux could be half as good and still be the unbelievably better choice. With them trading blows is like the only time in history where david actually has a chance at winning.
