We were so close to seeing another gaming handheld ship with Linux out of the box that isn't the Steam Deck, but it seems AYANEO with the AYANEO NEXT LITE weren't convinced enough and so they've changed their minds.
AYANEO aren’t entirely dropping it though, as they will still be offering HoloISO Linux (it’s like SteamOS), but the device will now instead ship with Windows 11.
Following the announcement of the operating system for AYANEO NEXT LITE, players and friends have shown great interest and engaged in lively discussions.
Some players provided feedback indicating the continued preference for a Windows operating system.
The streamlined and efficient HololSO system aims to offer players a more convenient game management, smooth and stable gaming performance, lower overall power consumption, and native compatibility with both controllers and touchscreen operations.
This approach aligns with the gaming habits of handheld device users, providing players with a richer selection of operating systems.
At least they will still be offering it up for download, but as we long-timers know, most people don’t generally change their operating system on any device.
