SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go S models. We’re currently working on adding support for more devices.
Most users aren’t going to install a new OS, especially on a handheld
This makes it easier for third-party devices to come with it stock installed or for people like you and me to set it up for friends. The kind of people who want handheld PCs are already going to skew more tech savvy, so I would not downplay how significant this release is.
Clearly it was worth valve’s time and attention, so my guess is they know something you don’t lol
I’m not sure where you got I was offended…? I get I was being a bit flippant with that end piece there but there’s no need to get weirdly bent out of shape about it. Especially when you’re purely going off vibes to make broad proclamations about an industry neither of us works in.
I have been following the updates in beta and preview, which have been every few days.
For those with an AMD handheld waiting for a stable release, this is it. RIP windows
Oh, and I use it is desktop mode half the time, works good for me.

The third party devices coming out with SteamOS already installed are significantly more interesting than this .iso.

Every manufacturer provides a firmware reset image or tool. It’s not some mystery.
But sure, get weirdly offended because somebody pointed out the obvious lol

The website literally states this image is meant for the Steam Deck and Legion Go S, not other random devices.
But sure, go on, you must know something Valve doesn’t, as you so eloquently put it.
I seem to have struck a nerve here or something. I think it’s better for both of us if we just move on dude
Here’s Valve explicitly claiming the same as I did
Hahaha sure buddy
Dude go talk to actual people or something you’re just throwing pushes for no reason.
