Is SteamOS a future default for handhelds? - eviltoast

Given many new handhelds coming on the scene and general disinterest of Microsoft to support the market, do you think SteamOS will take place of default OS the same way Android did on phones some time ago?

      “Works” to varying degrees. It usually needs to be tailored to the hardware.

        Tailored by the user or the dev? What type of hardware? I have not had to do anything special yet on any of the devices I have installed it on.

          By the developers. You can’t just slap it on anything and expect it to work properly. When the Ally was first released there was no sound and no WiFi. You have to use the “experimental” version to get it running kind of okay on there.
