Interesting.
Anyone know the status of Valve "generalizing" that? Or is the idea going to be that ayaneo will work on a delay as they swap out drivers and all the other "immutable" stuff?
You can install SteamOS on your PC. As long as ayaneo's handheld can run Linux, it should be able to run SteamOS.

There is also HoloISO which is based on Steam Deck's version of SteamOS: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso
Please don't use that guide. That's the old 2.x line of SteamOS which hasn't been updated since 2019 and is based on a very old version of Debian. The SteamOS that the deck uses is 3.x and has also moved from Debian to Arch. Valve really needs to update that page.
If you want to build your own SteamOS machine, take a look at something like HoloISO (https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso) which is built on the current branch of SteamOS with the deck-exclusive OS/hardware items swapped out for standard kit.
Man, I didn't know HoloISO is the only way to get the Arch-based SteamOS 3. I thought it's a custom fork like Proton vs Proton GE.
Yeah. valve have George Foreman syndrome. That is the old SteamOS that was used with Steam Machines. You can tell because it is based on debian rather than arch
I would actually be shocked if ayaneo were trying to pull that scam (and the promotional stuff definitely looks like modern steamdeck version of big picture).
