Unless it runs Linux it doesn't stand a chance. The moment you decide to sell a handheld gaming console running Windows you doom it to failure. It's the worst OS possible for that purpose.
Windows is the main reason I never got one of those PC handhelds even though they have been around for a very long time.
Never really felt like a handheld, more like an unwieldly laptop.
To be honest I was recently forced back into Windows by my employer recently and I don't get it's good for :p
Control. It's metrics and data mining all the way up.
What's funny is that when I learned about system admin, it was all Linux.
Nope, there are plenty worse...
z/os, Temple OS, OpenBSD, React OS and others.
Sorry, I am just feeling pedantic, it is late and I am about to get some sleep...
Are you honestly telling me you wouldn't buy a Temple OS handheld?
Man you could generate so many poems by God on that bad boy
Only if it were bound handsomely in leather with gilt lettering, as befits its divine purpose.
I mean, not for gaming...
Especially for gaming!!!!!!
Playing FAITH The Unholy Trinity at my Temple OS demonslaughter machine.
What a maroon!
