Shame that all these companies choose win11 over SteamOS

The version of SteamOS used on the SteamDeck is not publically available.

They could go with a linux distribution though, but the setup process for many consumers would proobably be too complicated if they don’t make their own launcher/interface.

Oh, makes sense. It thought Valve would already be working with some manufacurers based on this interview from November
