To be clear, this is just an alternative Linux OS. The hardware shown in the thumbnail and article is just a mockup meant to represent a potential handheld. Part of their goal is to offer equally good support for all PC game stores (epic etc) vs the "steam first" experience of the deck.

Dedicated builds for the Steam Deck and other handheld PCs are to come later this year.

Wow that is a name I haven't thought about in ages

No desktop mode

I guess this is fine if they're targeting casual gamers? But I feel like by necessity the first people interested aren't going to be anyone you could call casual. It's a big loss of functionality in my book, steam deck with desktop mode is awesome
