A smaller handheld like the DS would be neat. Also can you imagine a Steam Phone? While it would make sense to do so, its a total another beast to develop and maintain a phone based operating system.

I want laptops with ARM processors, like Apple’s been doing, but not from Apple.

Why?

What is the difference between a phone based operating system, and a Steam deck you jam a Cellular antenna into?

  The entire operating system is? I mean its like asking what the difference between Ubuntu and SteamOS is. One is optimized for a specific use case. You do a lot of other stuff with a phone. Even the controls are different from a gaming device or PC. The display is much smaller. Why don’t you think we have more phone based operating systems like Ubuntu for phones?
