they have turned Android haldhelds into SteamOSit doesnt necessarily mean you can play Windows 11 games in a Android handheld/phone but things are getting better in any casehttps://www.androidauthority.com/steam-os-android-handhelds-steam-deck-3717337/Ever wanted to run Steam games on your Android handheld? There’s no shortage of ways to do so, such as Android apps like GameNative and Winlator. We also installed the Rocknix Linux distribution on our Android handheld earlier this year, which includes an official Arm version of Steam. But what if you actually want to install the Steam Deck’s OS on your device? We now have some good news.Valve recently released Steam OS for Arm devices. This isn’t a surprise as its newly launched Steam Frame VR headset runs on an Arm-based Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It’s basically a VR headset powered by a phone’s internals.The developer community has wasted little time in bringing this Arm flavor of Steam OS to Android handhelds. Developers hashtagbasit and MaSieS4Fun have ported Steam OS to Android handhelds. Best of all, it can run from a microSD card. That means you don’t have to wipe your device’s internal storage if you simply want to try it out. >Supported devices include the AYN Odin 2 family, the AYN Thor, the Retroid Pocket 6, and the AYANEO Pocket ACE/DS/EVO/DMG/S 2K consoles.The process does require you to install the Rocknix ABL first, which is the most complex step. However, I had already installed the Rocknix ABL on my device when I tried out Rocknix earlier this year, so all I had to do was unzip the Steam OS image and write it to a microSD card using the Rufus utility for PCs.
