Is that a Steam Deck competitor you’re teasing, MSI?

Big chance. But more competition is always a good thing in my opinion.

As long as they don't interfere with, say, Bazzite, all's good.

I heard somewhere Microsoft is making a gaming UI for Windows 11 for devices like the Steam Deck, but dunno if there's any progress there.

Last time I heard that, it was that it was the object of a hackathon they ran amongst employees. So not sure if they are actually still working on that.

I remember them saying it was shelved.

Not surprised, in my experience, like 99% of hackathon projects never get picked up as actual priorities

I would be thrilled if they sponsored Bazzite and used it with a non-deck skin. Win-win-win situation (funding for Bazzite, better device and FOSS competition)
