(and why wouldn't it - handheld gaming is niche compared to living room gaming)
Not really, Nintendo DS is the second best selling console of all time. The Nintendo Switch has sold lots (all-time #3) as a hybrid. Unlike Nintendo's consoles, their handhelds were always a success.

And unlike the Steam Deck, the Steam Machine has not the same novelty factor. Anyone can already buy/build a small form factor PC.

It will piss off a lot of purists, but it can happen. It won't work on all Linuxes of course, but it can work on these devices.
Yes, I also believe Valve will kill Linux gaming in the long run.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
