Nope, the download link actually redirects to the arch based steam deck os.

They really need to update the rest of the page... Big ass banner right above the download link says it's not compatible for the deck, but then the download link is for the deck image you can't install on a PC.

Lol, I'd be fine with them leaving it as is, if only they'd make a general release of OS3

Same. They alluded to what I am now assuming is this news a while back and I had thought it meant they were updating the desktop version to parity with the deck one. Now I'm just wondering how they can have it work on other handhelds but not all devices. What is their specific distro doing that it can't have drivers that exist for Linux in general?

Oh, I'd be willing to bet the long wait has something to do with Nvidia drivers.

I switched to arch a couple of months ago and the Nvidia drivers were one of the most confusing parts.
