Yeah AYANEO themselves confirmed it.
It mentions HoloISO, although I think originally it didn’t and said SteamOS and some posts/comments etc did say otherwise due to that.
A bunch of them saw Valve say “We’re coming out with a gaming PC that vaguely resembles an adult Nintendo Switch” and went “uh yeah us too!” I know Asus and Lenovo have one.
Are there more than just Steam Deck?
The next Ayaneo handheld is going to use SteamOS.
To clarify, not an official Valve version, just in case somebody is wondering.
It’s HoloISO or a modified version based on it, which is a Linux distro that bring most of SteamOS to other devices (except ones with Nvidia).
Is that reported somewhere? As in, we know for sure they didn’t get it from Valve?

Thanks for the link!
It’s kinda more interesting that they are leveraging HoloISO rather than it just being a straight-up partnership with Valve.
That’s literally the second paragraph in the linked article. Do people not actually read the articles on here?
Yeah, they’re former Redditors. They don’t read past the titles.

I think he meant more consoles with SteamOS.
There are many handheld PC gaming devices, however, none can match Steam Decks’ price with its performance.
