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.

    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

      Steam link hardware was junk too.

      Just get something with android and you’ll have a better experience for all the rest of your TV stuff too.
