It's not even like Linux is that much better in terms of UI/UX but being able to control the user experience with fine grain controls the way it's done on SteamOS/other distros is a massive advantage. All other Windows handhelds are stuck with some poor imitation of a gamepad-compatible shell.

I use gnome for my desktop experience and only when using the terminal or web browser do I have to use a keyboard and mouse. It's not Android levels of perfect for touch screens, but it's miles ahead of windows 11.
