    Most users aren’t going to install a new OS, especially on a handheld

    This makes it easier for third-party devices to come with it stock installed or for people like you and me to set it up for friends. The kind of people who want handheld PCs are already going to skew more tech savvy, so I would not downplay how significant this release is.

    Clearly it was worth valve’s time and attention, so my guess is they know something you don’t lol

      Every manufacturer provides a firmware reset image or tool. It’s not some mystery.

      But sure, get weirdly offended because somebody pointed out the obvious lol

        I’m not sure where you got I was offended…? I get I was being a bit flippant with that end piece there but there’s no need to get weirdly bent out of shape about it lol. Especially when you’re purely going off vibes to make broad proclamations about an industry neither of us works in.

          The website literally states this image is meant for the Steam Deck and Legion Go S, not other random devices.

          But sure, go on, you must know something Valve doesn’t, as you so eloquently put it.

            I seem to have struck a nerve here or something. I think it’s better for both of us if we just move on dude

              Hur Durr Valve knows something you don’t

              Here’s Valve explicitly claiming the same as I did

              Hur I struck a nerve time to stop the conversation

              Hahaha sure buddy
