I read on the AlternativeTo blog that Steam is planning to extend SteamOS support to the Asus ROG Ally and other Windows-based handheld gaming devices. I am not too on top of the market for current modern computer game handhelds because I do not personally have a use-case for one, although I am always happy to see how much Valve’s efforts to develop its own gaming ecosystem have benefitted Linux as a whole. Thus, I am not up to date on what Linux support is (if there is any real Linux support at all, that is) for the non-Steam Deck devices. The news update made me wonder whether Steam Deck support for these devices means that more general Linux options may soon follow.
