    Give us a standalone VR headset that runs SteamOS and the world of VR will change overnight. Meta will instantly become a minor player!

    That’ll be nice. A lot of branding options there. Powered by SteamOS, that’ll be nice for knowing that all the devices drivers have Linux support

    Steam Included, easiest win for manufacturers. Steam Deck is pretty much an older generation AMD laptop. Slapping Steam Included should be viable for most new laptops these days

    Steam Compatible, hardware shipped with approved controller inputs. I guess Android TV boxes shipped with a gamepad for Steam Link or GeForce Now

    Steam Link Compatible, that’s practically any computing device with a WiFi card or Ethernet these days. I guess anything that doesn’t have a gamepad included

    With recent SteamOS release notes mentioning the ASUS ROG Ally, I think the writing’s on the wall that we’ll see a version of the Ally with SteamOS preinstalled soon.

      Better than having Win on it. Anyway, it’s a smart move. Cap more userbase in the high-end market while still providing a low-end option yourself.
