The article on the AYANEO NEXT LITE handheld with SteamOS Linux was updated, as AYANEO supplied a statement. They're using HoloISO - so this is not official with Valve https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/ayaneo-next-lite-handheld-announced-with-steamos-linux/

AYANEO NEXT LITE handheld announced with SteamOS Linux

Finally we're seeing another handheld vendor jump in with Linux. The AYANEO NEXT LITE was announced today and much like the Steam Deck, they plan to ship it with SteamOS!

This still seems like a good thing. Perhaps if it sells well, valve might be more likely to offer #SteamOS to third party hardware vendors. Unless Iโ€™m being overly optimistic!

This was unexpected. Also I foresee problems seeing that valve said with their own steam os that you had to get a license before you could distribute steam OS on your hardware (due to the steam software on it)

Calling it "SteamOS" likely infringes Valve's trademarks.

Also, no-one really trusts Aya to not screw up modifying HoloISO or to build their own AyaNeoOS they were previously working on.
Plus they're fast at dropping device support.
