Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

That'll be nice. A lot of branding options there. Powered by SteamOS, that'll be nice for knowing that all the devices drivers have Linux support
Steam Included, easiest win for manufacturers. Steam Deck is pretty much an older generation AMD laptop. Slapping Steam Included should be viable for most new laptops these days
Steam Compatible, hardware shipped with approved controller inputs. I guess Android TV boxes shipped with a gamepad for Steam Link or GeForce Now
Steam Link Compatible, that's practically any computing device with a WiFi card or Ethernet these days. I guess anything that doesn't have a gamepad included
I made my own steam deck (ish) with steam link, a 6 year old used tablet, and a gamesir 8+ controller. In fact, it's better. But of course you need the hardware to stream that, but for at-home couch gaming while the wife is watching stuff, it's amazing. Portability is iffy because internet.
