Valve Confirms SteamOS Expansion to Asus ROG Ally and Other Handhelds

Company aims to extend its Linux-based operating system beyond the Steam Deck, enhancing compatibility and user experience on rival devices.

Valve designer Lawrence Yang confirmed plans to support SteamOS on Asus ROG Ally and other handhelds.
The initiative will offer an alternative to Windows, aiming for a smoother, more gaming-focused user experience.
Current progress shows steady development, but SteamOS is not yet ready for immediate release on third-party devices.
Dual-boot support for Steam Deck, allowing users to switch between Windows and SteamOS, is also in the works.
The move could significantly impact the handheld gaming market, providing more options for gamers.
