PlaytronOS is a new Linux-based operating system tailored for handheld gaming PCs. It aims to provide a lightweight and open-source alternative to Windows and SteamOS, offering broad hardware and software compatibility. The OS supports games from various stores, including Steam and Epic, and is designed to work across different platforms such as handhelds, laptops, and in-car systems. The operating system is designed to be easy to control and operate, even when using a device with a small screen or a non-traditional input method.
The company behind PlaytronOS, Playtron, has announced that the OS will be available for download on other handheld devices, including the Steam Deck. Discussions are ongoing with OEMs and mobile operators to deploy Playtron devices globally by 2025. Additionally, a Playtron native handheld is expected to be released this year, with the OS potentially supporting both x86 and ARM systems.
