AYANEO NEXT LITE handheld announced with SteamOS Linux | UPDATE: Not SteamOS Apparently (www.gamingonlinux.com)

UPDATE: Despite saying they were using SteamOS on the homepage, they've since clarified that it's actually "an optimized version based on HoloISO". HoloISO seems to be a community compiled version of SteamOS. It's very similar but it's not officially SteamOS.

Now the handheld market gets really good.

Ayaneo has a pretty good track record making portable gaming devices, mostly running Windows. I'm guessing "subscriptions" here is a mistranslation for pre-orders.

Yeah. I was looking into a handheld well before the steam deck was announced. GPD probably have the best hardware, but ayaneo the best overall "package" and form factor. My issue was always that they require their proprietary software to be run on top and... I don't trust them with shit like steam credentials.

But yeah. The company is REALLY Chinese and tend to (presumably) run most of their stuff through a translator. You get used to it.
