@popey I imagine SteamOS simply isn't ready yet, as it's so heavily tied to the Deck hardware, and Valve said only recently it's high on the list but people available for it were working on the OLED  @popey And you have to think, and you'll know this well, supporting a whole distro is a huuuge undertaking, and Valve is actually in terms of people relatively small considering their monies @gamingonlinux @popey Plus the Steam Machine experience has probably made them reticent to work with other OEMs. @gamingonlinux Nice to see some competition in form of a lower powered device with a cheaper price than the steam deck show up. I have a few friends who really only want to play indies on the go, but would like the modifiability and flexibility and pricing of a PC game with that, so I think this is a perfect device for that purpose! Also super unrelated, but I wonder if some kind of "comment by Fediverse" on GamingOnLinux would be a possibility at some point. :) |
@gamingonlinux Wonder why they don't work with Valve and actually use SteamOS? Maybe SteamOS isn't ready for other devices, or they'd need to fund the porting (which is probably done by 3rd party contractors anyway)?
