I mean, why not, right? Readily available hardware with a screen that you can just slap your own software or OS on.

Must have been real nice for the developers building software for it, considering it's just Linux as opposed to some proprietary nonsense.

It’s perfect. All the software can be developed and tested on any Linux distribution and matched to the hardware and then run without any modification needed and become instantly portable when needed for demo.

I wonder if the steam deck is sold at a loss or not like other consoles
