    Can’t really blame them for not giving up the secret sauce competitive advantage 🤷

    Other companies are free to put together their own thing with steam and proton

      If that was their intention I wouldn’t blame them either but Valve said it would become available for other manufacturers to use when the steam deck was first announced

      Isn’t the secret sauce already available, with the issue being that it’s not adapted to run on a wider range of devices? I had the impression HoloISO was just that, but as a community project - putting in all the work to make it installable on various devices (and work correctly)

        AFAIK, the only publicly available build is an outdated image based on debian instead of arch and not really worth running due to its state.

          Right, but are the sources all available? You probably wouldn’t want to be using the same build for your one device with different hardware, so the question is, do you have what it takes to put the system together yourself?

      I would imagine they would want a smooth experience on steam. That is the point of all of this work after all , so releasing the image gets more devices shipped with steam and more users into their ecosystem.
