While we've known for a while that Valve plan to get SteamOS Linux on devices other than the Steam Deck, we don't know when that will happen, but we've got another hint here that things are moving along.
Heck yeah, new steam controller and steam OS on more devices! Excited to see what happens with this. Well…as long as it’s not like last time but I don’t think it will be.
It almost certainly won’t be like last time considering how far Proton has come and given the popularity of the Steam Deck. I imagine that a Mini PC home console with Steam OS from Valve would do the PC gaming market a lot of good since it would act as a stable piece of hardware for Devs to target and optimize for. Since as it currently is, PC gaming hardware evolves and progresses way too fast.
Completely agree. I’m very excited for the new era of Valve hardware and Linux support. Especially now that they are selling their hardware officially where I live.
Well yeah, because this time they have a ton of games and their own hardware. They’ve proven the concept, and the fact that more expensive and devices w/ less user-friendly software are selling shows that there’s a market here.
So all a competitor would need to do is build the hardware, Valve does all the rest.

If some day they eat a big part of windows market shares I would not be surprise
