From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are there more than just Steam Deck?

The next Ayaneo handheld is going to use SteamOS.

To clarify, not an official Valve version, just in case somebody is wondering.

It's HoloISO or a modified version based on it, which is a Linux distro that bring most of SteamOS to other devices (except ones with Nvidia).

Is that reported somewhere? As in, we know for sure they didn't get it from Valve?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah AYANEO themselves confirmed it. It mentions HoloISO, although I think originally it didn't and said SteamOS and some posts/comments etc did say otherwise due to that.

Thanks for the link!

It's kinda more interesting that they are leveraging HoloISO rather than it just being a straight-up partnership with Valve.

That's literally the second paragraph in the linked article. Do people not actually read the articles on here?

Yeah, they're former Redditors. They don't read past the titles.

A bunch of them saw Valve say "We're coming out with a gaming PC that vaguely resembles an adult Nintendo Switch" and went "uh yeah us too!" I know Asus and Lenovo have one.

[–] Brocon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I think he meant more consoles with SteamOS.

There are many handheld PC gaming devices, however, none can match Steam Decks' price with its performance.
