this is BY FAR the best handheld i have ever used. finally got enough saved up for one and boy was it worth every penny! it can play every game in my steam library (even the ones that say they aren't supported) and it emulates almost everything up to more demanding ps3/xbox360 games. but i mean hell it's running the tekken 8 demo! it's so good! and yes, you'll have to learn how to use linux on this thing unless you want to install windows on it. but honestly it's super easy to learn since steamOS is very windows like. like puppy linux. it's very beginner friendly. it's just learning the names of the apps on it and the ui is very straight forward.

if you're planning on getting one and on the fence about it. it's worth it. it runs games and stuff so so well. this is basically my dream handheld. i can gush about this thing for hours lol.
