I use to have arch break a lot because I only updated every couple of months, fixed it every time by looking at the forums. I don't seem to have those problems any more though.

The use case is very different here thought. For a handheld game console, it really has to work forever (or as long as the hardware lasts) without a single issue or ever requiring users to fix anything. The competitors here are nintendo consoles, and the playstation. It's not acceptable to say "oh its ok you can just open the terminal to fix and I haven't had an issue in 2 years". It has to be essentially perfect or able to recover itself from any kind of software fault without much user intervention.

  >The competitors here are nintendo consoles, and the playstation. Nope, the competition is GPD and other UMPCs. Valve is quite clear about the fact that this is a PC, not a game console. It's a portable gaming PC, but not a console. It's a general purpose computer. I expect a lot of people to install Windows on it, too.
