Steam Deck‘s SteamOS Proton software could come to other portable PC devices in the future, such as the OneXPlayer.
As reported by PC Gamer, the OneXPlayer – a portable touchscreen gaming PC – currently runs Windows as its primary software, while Valve‘s Steam Deck run a version of Linux called SteamOS, which uses something called Proton to get the games to run on the device.
However, according to an interview with WePC, OneXPlayer is looking for a Linux-based solution in the future, with SteamOS seeming to be a possibility.
The VP of OneXPlayer, Jason Zeng said, “Steam Deck is a very influential product that has managed to leverage its accumulated assets and bring [the] public’s attention to the field of portable gaming.”
“We sincerely congratulate Steam Deck for its achievements, and will keep working on our competitive edges.”
Zeng also mentioned that the team has been “working on” shipping the OneXPlayer device with a build of Linux or SteamOS in the future.
