> maybe other vendors will come out with similar products that come with SteamOS by default

It's already happening. Lenovo released a SteamOS variant of the The Lenovo Legion Go S.

I for one eagerly awaits Lenovo to release SteamOS versions of their ThinkPads

  • They generally run Linux without issue already... that said, pre-installed options would be nice, not sure if SteamOS is the most appropriate. Probably Pop, Cachy or Bazzite, and given that Pop comes from a competitor, unlikely.

  • This t470 on ubuntu 2404 runs steam just fine.

    The main issue with modern games is the lack of gpu, but gpus in laptops are never great.

  • I mean most thinkpads run linux jist fine. So they already are SteamOS machines.

    • We're talking about making it popular though, so shipping with it is the important part. You can also install Windows on the Steam Deck but that doesn't make the Steam Deck a win for Windows.
