Valve’s SteamOS is here to take the reins for your favorite mobile gaming machines. The company’s latest update enables anybody to load up Valve’s native handheld software onto (almost) any handheld PC, providing a much cleaner, console-like experience for a smaller screen. We’ve already seen how the change in operating system can increase gaming performance on familiar handhelds. At this rate, Valve is in a good position to give every PC—not just handhelds—the Steam Deck treatment. SteamOS ver
