Playtron plan to launch PlaytronOS, a Linux-based system for gaming
www.gamingonlinux.com
Playtron have teased their PlaytronOS, taking aim at the gaming space to compete with SteamOS with a Linux-powered system. Could be exciting times ahead.

To be clear, this is just an alternative Linux OS. The hardware shown in the thumbnail and article is just a mockup meant to represent a potential handheld. Part of their goal is to offer equally good support for all PC game stores (epic etc) vs the “steam first” experience of the deck.

Dedicated builds for the Steam Deck and other handheld PCs are to come later this year.

    Now that’s a name I haven’t heard for a long time. But I still do remember how the entire community continued under the Lineage name as if nothing had happened. As is to be expected when open source project tries to commercialize. Does anyone actually know of a project that has done something similar and not immediately failed?
