The Steam Deck is the most widely mentioned by far but others like the Lenovo Go exist. Are Linux or Windows based handhelds better overall?
What's the best Switch style gaming handheld?

personally as far as handheld PCs go i think linux/steamos edges the competition, at least as far as the UI goes, all the other handhelds use windows and use a barely functional "quick access" menu, the steamos one isn't perfect but it's much better than the horror stories i've heard of the stuff like what's on the asus rog ally and msi claw. i know windows has big picture mode but it has to run on top of normal windows explorer which isn't ideal, and the quick access menu doesn't have everything like screen refresh rate options
you don't have easy access to games with anticheat protections but i feel like complaining about that is moot if you're using a handheld device that likely won't have 100% access internet at all times

Technically for a month there I had Frontier FIOS 500Mbps and Spectrum 1Gbps (they got me on Spectrum because it was a little cheaper for double the speed)

I mean what would you really need that fast for tho, 500mb streams 4k fine. 1gb should be fine for 8k eventually. That's what I just switched to Spermrum.
