ICYMI: Playtron plan to launch PlaytronOS, a Linux-based system for gaming, although their statement on the Steam Deck being "Locked to the Valveverse" is easily demonstrably false gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/play…

Playtron plan to launch PlaytronOS, a Linux-based system for gaming
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.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

at the end this is going to be proton / valves improvements packaged into fedora.

- mockup looks like they're pitching a device.
- mockup is missing critical functionality (buttons)
- infected with cryptocurrency brainworms
- they haven't decided about open source yet
- trash talking existing devices, yet being vaporware itself
- grand claims that have no backing in reality (like Epic, Fortnite, Roblox)
I've seen some talk about several of these, but most people have missed one or more, especially the cryptocurrency.
