TL;DR: Antec is going to be selling a Steam Deck competitive device, based on the Ayaneo Slide. The device has a slide up screen that reveals a keyboard, which is good because using desktop windows is much easier with a keyboard. However the device's lowest estimated power draw at low/no load is 15w, meaning it will use comparable power to the deck running at max power. This means the battery life will probably be pretty rough when compared to the Deck. It will also likely have a much higher price point.

Don't downvote his comments. Way I see it, he's passionate about Microsoft. That's cool. I mean, wrong, but it's cool he defends his position.

No amount of links or data are going to change his mind.

He even brought out the card of "I know the windows kernel and you don't". That's where you know he's going to keep bringing stuff out of nowhere to try to push his mind and make it valid.

I do not know any kernel, but as a user, that has been on and off windows and Linux for over 20 years, at pretty much all use cases, I can confidently say that Windows is a solid shit show that knows how to market itself and grab their industry by the balls. Nothing else.

What did I get, random blog with the most basic Comparison? The title of the blog is which OS is the best, yeah I expect a lot of high level Quality from an article like that.
