Seemingly confirming the theory that “Xbox” will just be Windows going forward, at least on handhelds.

      Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don’t need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.

        To add to this;

        Playing modern Windows games on Linux and SteamOS is done using Wine and Proton. Wine is available on almost every Linux distro and Proton comes* with Steam.

        *You can use Proton outside of Steam but it’s quite hacky and not really needed.

      Why do you want SteamOS though? Unless you’re making a Steam Machine there are better options out there for desktop usage.
