And this is why SteamOS is absolutely kicking Windows’ ass on handhelds.

Why? Because they use web based UI that is even worse than RN, according to church of native fanatics?

2GB is not good news. That’s evidence that they did not give two shits about mobile before the bad press.

And probably the reason why I have to restart it at least twice a week.
