is steamOS that instrinsically tied to the hardware?
CNot really, just quirky
AIt has some hard coded stuff for the deck
ASo sort of?
Asince i added support to other handhelds i can tell you
Ait will never arrive for third party handhelds
AThough we've seen changes from Valve that's gradually removing the hard coded stuff
Aunless there is an official agreement between manufacturers
Aand valve
Aits just not there yet
Aany device that has been released with windows support can not have steamos pretty much
CFair enough, you need vendor support
Abecause the controller doesnt work correctly in linux
CEven the Legion GO?
AThey can, it'll just be semi-broken
ALike you'll be missing a few buttons
Aespecially the legion go
ALike back buttons
AGyro
Agyro, rgb, back buttons, front buttons
ABut basic controls all work fine on LGo
COh, right
Athen all the vendor functions
CBut the tablet portion I've heard worked OOTB
ALGO controller is xpad, no?
AIt should be fine
Ayes it is, thats why it cant be supported properly
Asteam will not be able to fully read it
AYou just won't have any extra buttons ootb
Ayou cant ship an OS and call it support if half of the buttons dont work
ABut yeah, as is, it won't be 100% support. It'd be at a bare minimum baseline on the LGO
CIn fairness the LGO controllers are very wacky
AHaving a full functioning Xbox controller equivalent is baseline good enough
Eeverytime i look at the LGO controllers i get more confused
Abut we gotten to a point they work so well now you dont even notice
ABut note the LGO has much better Linux support ootb than most other handhelds
AI think thats great
Atbh ally only required 2 patches now
Aand the original too
AWell, that's assuming hhd is included
Ajust a quirk for controller suspend and a speaker patch

Ai mean isnt that the case for all devices?
AI'm assuming SteamOS wouldn't ship with hhd
Athats why steamos cant ship
CCould they though?
CWhat's the license?
AGPL
CTechnically they could then
CNot very in character overall but still
Abut some of the hacks are pretty wacky, not sure they'd like to officially sanction them
