Who is this for?
- Everyone that is scared they can't play the most popular online games on their handheld. So theoretically a massive demographic according to research (most pc gamers play older live service titles) done but whether they would want a gaming handheld is a different question.
  
  There's apparently a chunk of gamers who can't leave Windows because of GamePass. However, I don't know whether it's a significant portion.
  
  I am more thinking of the Valorant, League, Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc... players. Which are a majority of pc gamers.
  
  There are different clusters of users who don't/can't leave Windows.
  Don't want to learn another OS at all (They are content with the Windows experience)
  Gamepass users. They enjoy the Netflix model of getting free games
  Multiplayer (with anti-cheat) gamers
  Don't want to leave the Adobe suite/
  Uses programs which don't have Linux equivalent
  The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.
  
  I am talking for handhelds which are treated as consoles so the underlying os or gui makes no difference. Unless it stops you from playing the game you like.
  No one should tell you to leave an os if it works for you.
  
  34 million people are on all Xbox game pass versions. How much of that is on PC game pass, I have no idea.
- People who want to play games that only work on Windows but don't want to deal with Windows' KBM interface or its' background activity shitfuckery.
