Valve expands SteamOS support to more non-Valve hardware

In addition to new device support, the update provides improved compatibility for existing devices such as older MSI Claw models and the OneXPlayer series. This follows a similar update in June that focused on enhancing support for recent Intel and AMD platforms across various manufacturers like GPD Win, Anbernic, and OrangePi.

While the Lenovo Legion Go S is currently the only non-Valve device to officially carry the "powered by SteamOS" branding, these regular updates suggest Valve's continued interest in ensuring its operating system functions well on a diverse array of hardware. Furthermore, the new SteamOS update includes an enhancement to the Steam Controller's Linux driver, enabling it to function with native controller applications even when Steam is not actively running. This improvement is particularly beneficial for users who utilize Desktop mode for emulators or other non-Steam Linux games.
