https://www.steamdeck.com/ is a good one.
Edit: if you just downvote this despite that this is a fact, I might as well just delete it.
That's just ridiculous
They take the same amount of money as other console makers and the store cut is completely unrelated to what Nintendo's lawyers do which is the actual topic here.
The topic is Nintendo who make a handheld console and unless CD Project make a GOGBoy with a bespoke SteamOS-like "console OS", yet another storefront for Windows PCs is hardly an actual alternative.
I also though of them because they recently improved their subscriber agreement (apparently not for selfless reasons but still an improvement esp. in the light of what Nintendo is currently doing).
