Title: Valve Adds SteamOS Support For Its Steam Deck Rivals
Link: https://games.slashdot.org/story/25/05/23/224...
Valve's SteamOS 3.7.8 update brings official support for AMD-powered
handhelds like Lenovo's Legion Go and Asus' ROG Ally, along with a new "Steam
OS Compatible" library tab and key bug fixes. Other features include a
battery charge limit, updated graphics drivers, and a shift to Plasma 6.2.5.
Polygon reports: Valve outlines two requirements for the third-party devices
not explicitly named in the update to run SteamOS on the handheld: they must
be AMD-powered and have an NVMe SSD. Specific instructions for installing the
operating system have been updated and listed here. Before this huge update,
players had to use an alternative like Bazzite to achieve a similar SteamOS
experience on their devices. The new update also piggybacks off of Valve
expanding the Steam Deck Verified categorization system to "any device
running SteamOS that's not a Steam Deck" in mid-May. To make matters sweeter,
a SteamOS-powered version of the Lenovo Legion Go S is scheduled to release
on May 25. You can learn more about SteamOS 3.7.8 here.
