Anyone know the status of Valve “generalizing” that? Or is the idea going to be that ayaneo will work on a delay as they swap out drivers and all the other “immutable” stuff?
Please don’t use that guide. That’s the old 2.x line of SteamOS which hasn’t been updated since 2019 and is based on a very old version of Debian. The SteamOS that the deck uses is 3.x and has also moved from Debian to Arch. Valve really needs to update that page.
If you want to build your own SteamOS machine, take a look at something like HoloISO (https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso) which is built on the current branch of SteamOS with the deck-exclusive OS/hardware items swapped out for standard kit.
That’s basically what this is though. From the project page:
Is this official?
No, but it may as well be 99% of the way there. Most of the code and packages, are straight from Valve, with zero possible edits, and the ISO is being built same rootfs bootstrap as all HoloISO installations run.
And also:
I have an NVIDIA G-
No. Not even questionable. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, You’re on your own. Latest Valve updates for Steam client including normal and Jupiter bootstraps have broken gamepadui on NVIDIA GPUs, and if so, no support will be provided for you.
If this was a reimplementation, Nvidia GPUs would work because they’re supported on Arch. But this isn’t, it’s just a repackaging of what Valve has already done.
Proton GE is to Proton what HoloISO is to SteamOS 3, an unofficial repackaging with some small tweaks.
Yeah. valve have George Foreman syndrome. That is the old SteamOS that was used with Steam Machines. You can tell because it is based on debian rather than arch
I would actually be shocked if ayaneo were trying to pull that scam (and the promotional stuff definitely looks like modern steamdeck version of big picture).
Interesting.

You can install SteamOS on your PC. As long as ayaneo’s handheld can run Linux, it should be able to run SteamOS.

There is also HoloISO which is based on Steam Deck’s version of SteamOS: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

Man, I didn’t know HoloISO is the only way to get the Arch-based SteamOS 3. I thought it’s a custom fork like Proton vs Proton GE.
