One of the Steam Deck's primary advantages over more powerful handheld gaming PCs is its operating system, which is designed to mimic a game console interface within a Linux PC environment. Valve has long planned to bring the OS to other devices, but a recent Steam Deck software update includes the first mention of a rival handheld.

It is, but Steam has a habit of iterating, maybe we’ll see an updated Steam Link- like device in the future?

They abandoned it because they could just build it into TVs.

Unfortunately smart TV's are just a step up from potatoes. Having separate hardware is gereally better than a smart TV app

I wish we could stop with smart TVs. I want a dumb TV with a nice screen & my own hardware without worrying about the data collection
