Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device?
We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.
We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved. If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.
I think what they meant is you can test it on any device and provide feedback. [1]
Most handhelds should work fine, provided they're not a freak GPU setup like the Tegra board in the Switch. If you own an Intel or AMD handheld (which account for most models), the biggest issue you're likely to encounter is controller configuration.
It's definitely not "officially supported" by Valve, but in many cases the hardware does have official OEM support in upstream Linux.
