The Linux-powered Steam Deck is the king of handheld PC gaming. None of
its Windows-running competitors even comes close.
That's a matter of opinion.
Likely also a matter of market share. Valve is holding its cards close to
its chest, but it looks like the Deck sells maybe 1½ million units per
year.
The steam deck probably wins on value for money and on number of sales
but there are several significantly more powerful handheld gaming
devices which run Windows.
Yes, but the user experience (notwithstanding the promise of greater
compatibility) is poorer on these more expensive, less versatile machines.
The Steam Deck, being Linux, can run emulators for other gaming platforms,
and it seems about half of Steam Deck users take advantage of this.
