AYANEO NEXT LITE no longer ships with SteamOS-like HoloISO Linux - Windows 11 instead
(www.gamingonlinux.com)
And with that it became irrelevant.

Eh? You can just install the original OS.
It's not the same.
Shipping with it inherently implies a higher level of support, and a greater likelihood of stronger community support.
I wonder how much Microsoft is paying them ? And I don't mean just giving licenses for free, but that plus extra cash.
There are precedents for this kind of stuff, like MS did when the so called "Netbooks" running Linux were all the rage and Intel giving CPUs plus cash to cell makers are two examples that I remember.

I don't think there's need for conspiracy theory: these people simply don't have the knowledge to manage a distribution, even when sticking to a well set distro standard (such as Debian or Ubuntu). Here's what did happen:
1st problem on Linux: "damn, Linux doesn't work"
switching on Windows because they think this solve their issues
45633th problem on Windows: "damn... what we are doing wrong?"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
