As for this handheld, more competition is generally good for consumers, but I think these competitors need to do something to set themselves apart from the Steam Deck, because I don't see how this handheld is a better option.

Manjaro is one of my favorite distros...Same. I've been using it for a few years, and it just works.

I don't even like tipping at restaurants even though it's customary in the US.

Telling Linux users to dual boot so they can benchmark their hardware in Windows is a strange suggestion. We want to benchmark our operating systems and not just the hardware. I'm not sure how someone who specializes in benchmarking software doesn't understand that.
