      When did the deck drop? It was the only serious contender until last year, year before maybe?
      Year of the gaming handheld has been upon us for a few years now.

    Oooo… Will this mean my current legion go would have full steamos support? Not many issues with bazzite, but wouldn’t mind trying steamos to see if it gives me a little more freedom to customizations.

    Bazzite is a little picky on personal software installs, configurations, or manual builds (not impossible to get around, but slightly annoying when their package store is missing something I want)

      SteamOS is more locked down, the root is read only and there’s no layering system so every update completely undoes any changes you might have forced on the root partitions by disabling read only mode.

        Ahhh dang didn’t know this, thank you for sharing! I never touched steamos so was definitely curious.

          Yeah. I buy so few AAA games, I figure I would get my money’s worth. But only if they ran on SteamDeck. I don’t find time to sit at my PC and play, during this phase of life.

    Ngl this is actually kinda cool to see. Steam OS is legitimately taking off. This could become A Thing in the game hardware industry. As in: a new primary target platform.

    Time for an indestructible, upgradable, ThinkPad-level Linux gaming handheld!

    LOL yeah right, I know, but let a guy dream. You’re already picturing the bright red thumbstick, right? Lol
