I wonder how they are gonna do this, I’m hoping steamOS doesn’t end up like Android where there are a million skins and updates take forever. I know Linux s Is universally compatible with most x86 hardware so in theory it should plug in play as long as they use an amd gpu.
A big problem with Android is ARM vendors don't upstream anything in so you need to run very specific kernel and bootloaders just to boot the OS. SteamOS on x86 won't have that problem, regardless of who makes the end device.
