      I remember reading like a year ago that they wanted to get it on other handheld devices first (which this post looks to cover), so don’t hold your breath but hopefully it’s a step closer

        They promised a generic release (no date) when steam deck was first revealed lol. Typical valve time but I know they’ll deliver a decent starting experience. They’ve leaned a lot and improved the steam deck software a lot too.

        Hopefully getting some OEMs on board (that want SteamOS on their handhelds) makes it easier to maintain - I’m sure that’s what they’re kind of hoping for before releasing a general release.

        I’ve been feeling for a while now that Nvidia’s more recent approaches to open source drivers has been encouraged by their background talks with Valve, getting pressured by such a wildly successful new device.

      I really don’t understand why people even want that when great alternatives like Bazzite exist.

      I don’t even run SteamOS on my Deck anymore, so I can’t imagine running it on another PC.
