Installing SteamOS on other devices

We are continually working to improve compatibility with other devices. Currently, expanded support includes devices with AMD hardware and an NVME drive, targeted toward handheld devices. Please note, support for all devices that is not officially 'Powered by SteamOS' is not final (currently anything that is not a Steam Deck or Legion Go S)

I'm not sure if it would actually work, but steamOS isn't the same as steam. I'm assuming it's mostly just a matter of what drivers are included by default.

steamOS isn’t the same as steam

That's precisely why I said " Steam work on these? Doesn’t Proton work on these? Doesn’t KDE Plasma work" rather than just Steam.

IMHO the biggest component of the whole setup isn't Steam itself (which is convenient to get games, manages saves, etc) or KDE Plasma (which is a nice UI) but rather Proton. None of that would work without the compatibility layer and it goes beyond Wine including thanks to all the community feedback from e.g. ProtonDB.

So I agree, SteamOS isn't Steam but that's anyway not what I suggested.

How does SteamOS do on my AMD 7950X3D with my 4090? Oh it doesn’t support those?

Sure, but the person you quoted was specifically talking about steamOS. You bringing up steam/proton/kde plasma was out of place.

Please explain what you believe are the core constituent of SteamOS if they are not Steam, Proton and KDE Plasma?
