From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My bet is that there's an Xbox handheld in the work and Microsoft is working on a Windows version just for it.
MS has CBL Mariner, they could release their own linux handheld
But then they would show the general public that Linux is a thing worth mentioning. I doubt that many people outside IT know about CBL Mariner.
If they released a handheld it would absolutely be locked down, Xbox branded and only using the Xbox store
