SteamOS' coming open availability is exciting!

There have been a few people getting it running on desktops as it is using the steam deck recovery image software. The LTT one mentioned that they have issues with Nvidia card but worked with AMD cards for example. Seems to be coming along but needs some final polish and better hardware support.
 
I would love to get away from Win OS for gaming but the games I play I highly doubt would run on a Linux based system I used to spent weeks trying to get games to run on several versions of Linux some worked after huge issues and messing around but were not stable, so I gave up
 
better hardware support.

What hardware? I wanna make an APU system in the tiniest case possible - albeit with good cooling, some OC and quieter than those mini prebuilts running laptop hardware. A 8700G or the new replacement when it comes should be really close, drivers-wise, to the APUs in Steamdecks, no?

Amd apu probably be OK, Nvidia issues, no printer support likely most don't care). But for mass market release stuff like that will be needed to really drive adoption. Can't choose HDD durring install, wipes anything, no partitions etc.

Are you referring to the SteamOS Beta coming in April for other handheld PC? Looks like another step forward to getting it on PC.

yessir. if you think about it, all the AMD APU based mini PC from Minisforum, Beelink, and others are PERFECT candidates to become wicked little SteamOS powered gaming consoles!

I can see, even tho expensive, how the Ryzen AI Max 395HX, with it's 40 core RDNA3.5 iGPU being VERY popular!

edit - and by extension, end point devices if the OS lets you install common Linux apps so it can also be your primary computer. I would have no issues using M365 and other programs via browser windows.
