A mention in this week's Steam Deck firmware patch notes has some observers speculating that Valve is preparing to release its well-regarded Linux build for third-party hardware....

One of the Steam Deck’s primary advantages over more powerful handheld gaming PCs is its operating system, which is designed to mimic a game console interface within a Linux PC environment. Valve has long planned to bring the OS to other devices, but a recent Steam Deck software update includes the first mention of a rival handheld.

I’ve been rolling on #Bazzite all along

Yes, but ideally it’s not just up to the enthusiasts. I feel like ideally this will become officially supported by the hardware vendor and in the future the default os on the device! That’s how you get market share and people to adopt it.
