Hmm, and I was hoping Valve officially opened SteamOS to 3rd party vendors. A bit odd that they haven’t done this yet.
Well, maintaining a distro specific to your hardware is one thing, supporting it for others - that’s a huge undertaking.
Hopefully the make some upstream contributions so linux gaming keeps getting better.
Any runors on its specs or pricing?
Not that I’ve seen, but we’ll learn more in less than a day
I think HoloISO is a good target for compatibility. Valve hasn’t released a generic ISO for steam OS yet but much of their efforts have made their way upstream. They’ve then landed into other projects like chimera and bazzite. Since this device hardware targets HoloISO it should mean that it will be easier to install other operating systems on it and get full functionality.
I see this as an absolute win.
Why HoloISO and not Bazzite?
Wouldn’t Bazzite be the better choice?
