Huh? the first thing that comes up when I google SteamOS is DIY install instructions.
Nope, first party SteamOS
This is an old version which was for SteamOS devices, the Steamdeck has a completely revamped OS which has not that much in common with the old one.
That SteamOS used Debian as base, the new SteamOS 3 Arch with countless of adjustments to make the usage of the Steamdeck a joy.
I really wouldn't install the old SteamOS as of now, there are countless of better alternatives out there and maybe they will release SteamOS 3 for custom devices in the future.
Got it, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the information!
