HP is interested in creating a SteamOS handheld, says Windows is a โstruggleโ
Rivals to the Steam Deck so far have focused on Windows, but SteamOS opening up to more handhelds could mean a HP Omen device on the way.Hassam Nasir (PC Guide)

in reply to Arcane2077 • • •Hi! I want to be better informed, and looking at the link investigate.afsc it says
I think when people refer to HP (HPQ) they think of 'Hewlett Packard', and therefore take the name to also mean Hewlett Packard Enterprise ("HPE") but those appear to be two different things.
What I can summize is that HP build the teck prior to the split, which is now used by EntServ and DXC not part of HP. HP built a R&D center
It looks like the company continuously split and sold parts of it to get away from that legacy. By not demonstrating how they are not involved this shows a level of complicity.
If we start to look at the people in the companies, this will start to paint a different picture - Antonio Neri who is the President and CEO of HPE has been with HP since 1995. In 1997 he was 'global director of HP's imaging and printing services division'. In 2004 the company's 'PC services business', then began 'heading the technology services business' in 2011. I wonder how he personally was involved in the things HP did during his time in these roles.

in reply to Fluffy Kitty Cat • • •It doesnโt help that they are actively and aggressively pushing their users away with shitty features no one asked for and operating system breaking bugs that shouldnโt even exist.
They are shooting themselves in the foot for their epic quest for enshitification.

in reply to Lee Duna • • •I reckon/hope HP was also soured with the deprecation of Windows Mixed Reality, effectively bricking the HP Reverb G2.
That is a shit show on its own.

The problem is it is hard to know the difference between good and bad.

in reply to Coreidan • • •That's bad
But so is every other tech company out there really. Not to say that that we should ignore it but at the end of the day the scale of the problem is much bigger than HP. If I started not buying from companies with some sort of questionable history I wouldn't have anything to buy.
HP is a big company that's getting into Linux. I think that's good in general.
