UPDATE: Despite saying they were using SteamOS on the homepage, they've since clarified that it's actually "an optimized version based on HoloISO". HoloISO seems to be a community compiled version of SteamOS. It's very similar but it's not officially SteamOS.

Now the handheld market gets really good.

Ayaneo (and GPD) have been doing pretty well for the past few years. Well before Valve dipped their toe into the PC handheld market.

It is mostly that Valve have demonstrated the viability of linux for gaming (in large part to preserve their de facto monopoly on PC gaming as MS find ways to convince people to put up with GFWL...). Which means Ayaneo (and GPD) potentially have a way to not have to factor in windows licenses with all of their SKUs.

That makes more sense actually. Well, either way it is good news for Linux, hopefully.
