Steam has published a SteamOS branding guide for inclusion with third-party hardware

Although it was not the first, the Steam Deck was the driving force of the fashion of these mini PCs console type that we can now find among the big brands hardware. One of the keys to your success was the work done to fine-tune the operating system included with the console, Steam OS. Based on Linux and thanks to Proton, Steam Deck can run a multitude of games from your store Steam. But Valve has not been satisfied with including SteamOS on its consoles and wants to take it further.

We had already heard rumors that Valve was working on SteamOS to make it work on the ASUS ROG Ally, but it seems that it will also be available on other hardware. Valve has published a usage guide for your brand where include several categoriesthese are:

• Steam Includedfor third-party hardware that includes Steam.
• Developed for SteamOS, for hardware compatible with Valve’s operating system
• Steam Compatiblefor third-party peripherals compatible with Steam on PC.
• Steam Play Herefor those places that offer games with Steam.
• SteamVRto designate hardware that supports Steam virtual reality.
• Steam Link Compatiblefor VR hardware capable of working with Steam Link.

A bet on Valve in which, in addition to including its operating system with its consoles, it also you can extend it to third party consoles which often include Windows or other compatible systems without an environment adapted for games as it has SteamOS. More console models with SteamOS can encourage even more than the developers adapt and optimize their games for these new formats with more contained hardware, smaller screens and that depend on a battery.
