    Steam Deck: Already runs Linux.

    GabeCube: Confirmed it will run Linux.

    Steam Frame: Confirmed it will run Linux.

    Obviously Valve has made no overtures whatsoever towards making a phone. But if they did, what on Earth would lead you to believe that it wouldn’t run Linux?

      There being zero ecosystem for Linux phones, unlike the desktop.

      You’d need an Android runtime layer.

        How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.

        Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.

        It’s really not that much
