Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers) (lemmy.ml)

This is great news!

What's the biggest benefit of linux fof handheld devices? Less cumbersome for the developers and practically perpetual security updates? Asking because there are ones that run on Windows.

That, and it's easier to make a unified experience. Windows handhelds are notoriously difficult to use due to ui issues. I believe windows handelds tend to have a designated launcher designed for the device input, but it can't integrate well since you are still stuck with explorer.exe
