SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck

i would like to play video games without windows computer. thank you jesus Goldman or whatever his snake is

That's nice and all. But can it run Doom?

SteamOS is where I hang a LOT of faith now. Just, like, generally.

Here's hoping this is the beginning of a freer world from the personal technology standpoint.

I love my Steam Deck. I'm browsing the Fediverse on it right now. Desktop mode is a bit of that unpolished Linux experience you can get but it's really not bad at all. I mean, I fucking love it!

I think this is an incredible development, and will be a big boon for PC gaming on handhelds. Those SOCs/APUs are going to get better and better...

Here’s hoping it matures enough for desktop use by the time my Win10 desktop is EOL.

But, can I install it on a badger?

I'm still holding onto the dream that we'll get SteamOS onto something small enough to fit in my pocket and run all my favorite 2D indie games. First manufacturer to do it gets all my money.

I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus a while back, purely an impulse buy for how cheap it was on sale, and ended up putting far more time into it than I ever did with my deck. This is the cozy form factor I need.

To slot machines?

That's great if you don't care about playing online games and are okay with games you buy becoming incompatible.
