Is there any information on when valve will release steamos? I'd like to try it with the NUC I use for steam remote play on my tv.
Meanwhile, here's SteamOS without Valve https://github.com/theVakhovskeIsTaken/holoiso
(it's direct rip from SteamDeck, has some quirks and requirements, like requiring specific software to flash the ISO, NVIDIA is apparently no go and Intel iffy at best)
1080p in such a tiny handheld screen is complete nonsense.
Don't hate , i am sure its going to look amazing and on such a small screen you can still run at lower resolutions.
Its probably amoled with senile subpixels arrangement. So 1080p is actually a requirement. Unless you want to get lots of color fringe and weird mesh-like effect in a screen at that size
Some pics of games I took running on the Deck. Pretty darn impressive little machine I do say!
I'll put them in spoilers because there's quite a few.
(Protip - if you click one of them and then "ctrl+mouse wheel down" to zoom out to 50%, that's what they look like on the Steam Deck's screen.

Valve confirm (again) in a new ebook that they'll be future iterations of the Deck. Also that future versions will be more customisable. Maybe they'll make the SSD a bit easier to swap out?
SteamOS will be seeing a general release too. Not quite sure what would compel someone to install that over Windows though.

Steam Deck - Steam Deck Booklet - Steam News
So we made a book about Steam Deck! In preparation for Steam Deck launching in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, we wanted to introduce our new customers to Valve, Steam, and Steam Deck. So we made a small book – it’s about 50 pages, and we’ve translated it into Japanese, Korean...

I got an email from Valve yesterday evening asking if I want to fulfil my SteamDeck pre-order by 18.55 on 28 August.
I'm going to pass on this and let somebody else enjoy it.
Enjoy your early SteamDeck, random person!

I was looking through my library of games and saw Ryse.. which I had completely forgotten about. I decided to install it and check it out on the Deck.
(Sorry the volume is really low)
Runs better while at the same time higher settings than the Xbox One version.
XO: 900p, Medium settings, 30fps with frequent dips into the low 20s and high teens.
Deck: 900p, High settings, 30fps locked.
Pretty incredible how well this game holds up even today, some 9 years later. Looks incredible on the device itself! Seeing games like this, Spider-man, God of War, FH5, Gears 5, DMC5, RE2/3 Remakes, and so on running on the Deck never ceases to amaze me.

Can't wait for the Steam Deck 2. I will buy it day one.
Also while the Steam Deck is a good product, you can truly see how much of a first gen device this is. It's a real chonker especially compared to a Switch OLED.
Steam Deck 2 will very likely have a much better design, OLED display and an Phoenix Point APU (Zen4+RDNA3) which will run current gen only games.
I would not recommend buying the Steam Deck right now if you want longevity, as it will be extremly limited by its 4c/8t CPU when cross gen ends.

Good enough for a handheld. Seeing it do Spiderman that close to PS5, im not worried for current deck users.
However i’d wait for the next Deck too, if id be intrested in such a device, mostly for a better screen. The Decks lcd is like going with a iphone se.
