2024 is the year of the Linux ~~desktop~~ handheld!

I love valve, but competition is a good thing. Good luck to them.

Valve wants nothing more than for other devices to ship Steam OS. They make some money on them, especially more expensive tiers, but the purpose is to allow people to play more games on PC instead of consoles, and in particular Linux so they're less reliant on Microsoft.

They don't actually care who sells the hardware.

Nice. Hopefully this is sold in places other than US and a handful of EU countries.

So do Valve actually license Steam OS now? I thought it wasn't fully open source? Or are they using Chimera?

[–] festus@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not released yet but it's one of Valve's goals.

Interesting article. I'm still hoping for a Steam box, though...
