Valve wants to ship Steam Deck by the end of February

Open platform, usable as a classic PC
The most important difference between the Steam Deck and game consoles is that it is a Linux PC on which the owner can basically install anything he wants – not just games that he has bought via Steam, but also non-Steam games, others Software or an alternative operating system. There will be a desktop mode with which you can use the mobile gaming PC – a USB-C docking station has been announced – as a classic PC.
