With plenty of brands lining up to push new handheld gaming PCs to market, Playtron is taking a software approach, and it just might work.

Basically, if PlaytronOS works as promised, then your handheld PC will no longer be restricted to just single store fronts or Windows foibles.

Does the writer here assume that SteamOS is limited to a single storefront? Because that couldn’t be further from the truth. As you can see on Playtron’s website, they use the same launchers that you can already use on SteamOS, like Heroic.

You could easily run your Game Pass catalog on your Steam Deck, for example.

That is highly doubtful. I’d be very impressed if Playtron got Gamepass to work on Linux but let’s be real here, they didn’t.
