Headed by former Cyanogen CEO, it's a Linux OS that might not be fully open.

      Oooh that explains their website which is all marketing fluff and questionable statements like “SteamOS is locked down to the steamverse.”

    Sure… I would also say that handheld design has gone way too far in the direction that the other alt-decks would have benefitted from going for just a little bit. The result is a pure no. There is no way you can make an all purpose gaming device without real buttons. And whatever core casual means I don’t think a megagimmick input system fits that description.
