For those of you who is hyped, what is that so good with SteamOS, please? Honest question.

Own a Steam Deck myself. I ran SteamOS for about two months, I think, then I finally had enough of it because I really want to install some software of my choice on it, and having some control over the machine in general. But SteamOS is putting an immutable layer on top of it somehow and reset the changes I made every time I updated it. Forgive me for I don’t remember much detail.

Now I run Gentoo on it. I can still install Steam and all the games if I want, and I have full control of it.

Possibly related, but I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS through BoxBuddy. Dunno if it’s legit or what, but I was able to play games through it (though made no sense to). This was a week or two ago that I saw it on the dropdown when installing a new box.

Edit: I see other people in this thread mentioning some old steamos so maybe it’s that I dunno, maybe I will check later.

If this takes off the Xbox handheld will be DOA and Microsoft once again looses a very lucrative market due to pure incompetence.

2025 is the year of Linux!

In close collaboration with Valve

Sounds to me like they will open it to other manufacturers, but this could mean that they are releasing it publicly also. I’m excited!

Looking forward to swapping bazzite with steamos on my ally x

what’s a steamo and how is it used to power things?
