I’m not convinced that the ROG Ally is designed as well as the Steam Deck, and I’m less than impressed with Asus in recent years, but I do love open systems. This seems like a good move for Steam OS.

It will sell more games, and that’s Valve’s long term plan.
If it means more Linux support, then sign me up!
Final the age of linux gaming.
Same. I didn’t mean it cynically, just a statement of fact why they would be doing it.
SteamOS isnt really open given its got a whole bunch of unreleased patched open source software (probably in violation of Foss licenses) but always good to have more linux friendly handhelds.
Huh was not expecting that. How much work is it?
It’s not unexpected at all. Throwing in some drivers and whatnot is trivial compared to what Valve has already done with their OS. This
ishas always been part of their plan.Can’t be too much, considering Bazzite and Chimera already did it years ago. Maybe it doesn’t have the level of polish that Valve wants.
Pulling people into their software ecosystem with a good user experience only helps them, after all.
It should be a very smooth development and install since it’s a known set of hardware.
Is your question about the task for the end user? If all works well, it might take as long as installing a new operating system on any other device. Maybe half an hour give or take.
It’s still being worked on at Valve
Hell yeah let’s fucking go
Good move on valve
