Where the hell is SteamOS? That was one of the key questions I wanted answered when I sat down with Valve’s Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat, two of the longest serving members of the Steam Deck team. As always, the answer is “soon” but interestingly Valve is looking to make it available to other handhelds…
