LTT describes that the XBOX team have also trimmed down 2GB of W11 desktop bloat with this and have attempted to make the W11 experience more similar to a console. I’m curious to follow this. I’d imagine Microsoft are a bit intimidated by the fact that SteamOS is a better handheld gaming OS than Windows. Obviously this must have been in the pipeline for a long time now.
I would be interested if it also supported quick resume from sleep like the Deck does. Imo that’s the killer SteamOS feature that’s keeping Windows alternatives from being even a consideration.

If they implemented Direct Resume I might cave and reinstall Windows on my Ally.
But what for? Nothing makes it better, even if you would get this equivalent feature.
If they can’t do that then this thing is kind of DOA. I’ve just assumed for some reason that this is what they’re doing.
