Huh, TIL the Pi had competition.

and will have the longest support.

I thought Valve wasn't known for a long support for handheld, at least that is one comment a friend of mine said (that the Deck would be forgotten as the Steam controller).

Just saying, Steam controller is great and works amazingly still, made only better by the ongoing updates to steam input.

I’m not sure what else they’d need to do. Other than still produce it, I suppose 😅

Yeah this is the part I'd be worried about if I get a Steam Deck and it has no successor 😅

If it's official or not, the deck has tons of third party support through companies like Jsaux and their colab with iFixit. On the software side you have Camera, Bazzite and a wealth of options should steam OS disappear. I don't think Valve will drop the deck tbh and them not being known for long support of the handheld this is their first one, your friend might be talking about the steam controller but even that is still supported just not for sale and was very much a cult product rather than a successful one.
