    Yeah I get all of that. I’m just saying if you want to do it, you can, today. And it’s not even terribly complicated.

      technically? yes

      but don’t act like it’d be the same

      aesthetics, build quality, assurance that it’d all work smoothly, the whole experience just wouldn’t be the same

      which is to say nothing about the fact that SteamOS doesn’t really work on hardware that’s dissimilar to the steamdeck… if they released a console, one would assume it would have higher specs

        You’re right, it’d probably be way better…and it would be customized to your preferences and price point.

        You’re right again, you could use Bazzite or Nobara or Chimera and have an even better experience. Ask me how I know.
