>runs games perfectly fine with desktop hardware and linux as it's operating system only thing is it has all of the packages drivers and software needed to make it run properly preinstalled
make that on prebuilts and oems and linux would boost in more than few percents in the desktop world

they already tried with steam machines
then again, the state of linux gaming back then was really poor compared to now
if they released a steam gaming laptop and priced it aggressively, people would probably lap it up because the software is actually okay this time
it's just another proprietary operating system based on linux. why is steam deck viewed so positively here compared to chromeos and android? could it be that this board is full of gooming manchildren?
Isn't Steam OS open source ?
because Steam has a loyal user base and is actively trying to get more people on Linux, Valve is planning on releasing SteamOS so other device makers can use it too, and they contribute to WINE despite using its Proton fork, which is also FOSS. ChromeOS is trying to get more people into the Google only ecosystem, SteamOS is trying to get gamers out of the Windows Only ecosystem
>proprietary
I don't think it is. They're even planning to push it out to a broader market to see if they can suck out some of that Microshit market share.
Nah, I'm fine with the handheld that I already have.
>proprietary operating system
lmao it's literally just arch with frozen packages and standard linux steam pre-configured to launch on boot
if you're not an idiot, you can do this yourself with an archiso flash drive and a half hour
it also makes no attempt to hide this or restrict you from manipulating the system unlike chromeos or android
except for steam itself yea
if a group of people make a pre configured linux like that and try to offer it as a more newbie user friendly linux to companies like dell (who are already into selling linux laptops) this just might work
