This would make a lot of sense if valve plan on releasing new iteration of their handheld.

It makes more sense that for the immediate future this is for ARM Chromebooks. Steam for Chromebooks currently only works with x86 CPUs. For the longer term, all kinds of options open up because of this, of course.

You have it the wrong way around. It's about Android games on SteamOS. Oculus/Quest runs a variant of Android, it just makes sense to have a Proton-style porting aid for Quest games on SteamOS.

Isn't steam deck already on ARM chip ?
-
no, it runs on x86 as its essentially a semicustom AMD chip. AMD currently does not have any consumer facing ARM chips
-
Which is a major bummer. I remember Project SkyBridge, but that never happened. If it did, I'd probably be running an AMD ARM chip right now.

No, it's a custom AMD x86-64 chip.

Full fledged SteamOS desktop release when?
What would an official steamOS desktop do that bazzite can’t? Unless you need commercial support because you are selling steam machines I don’t see how a official release would be of advantage.
It could be more convenient for people
I don't really understand what this means. Can you explain the implications?
They mean when will Valve release an official Steam OS 3 ISO that we can install on our own PCs.
For the implications, I believe it would create a first class commercial level competition for Windows. It would open the door for a vendor trusted platform that implemented all the anti-cheat technologies. Paving the way to lift the virtual Linux ban on first day AAA games compatibility.
Maybe never. If I was at Valve, I would not want to open Pandora's box of NVidia drivers.
Who says they have to?
Lol, fuck nvidia.
Goddamn it why did you have to remind me of that :/
