When the Ayaneo Subsequent Lite used to be unveiled on January 10, Ayaneo claimed that the software would come pre-installed with SteamOS, which might’ve made it the primary hand held PC no longer affiliated with Valve to perform on SteamOS through default. Now Ayaneo has backtracked on that announcement fully, announcing the software comes put in with a third-party model of the app.
When Ayaneo published extra in regards to the Subsequent Lite, it clarified in its reputable Discord that “we’re the usage of third-party SteamOS, no longer reputable SteamOS,” in step with The Verge. It has since up to date the weblog publish saying the software and defined on Ayaneo Subsequent Lite’s reputable product web page that it’ll as an alternative come preinstalled with HoloISO.
“This undertaking makes an attempt to convey the Steam Deck’s SteamOS Holo redistribution right into a generic, installable layout, and supply a close-to-official SteamOS enjoy,” HoloISO author theVakhovskelsTaken explains on its GitHub web page. “Primary level of this undertaking specializes in re-implementing proprietary (as in runs-only-on-deck) elements that Steam consumer, OS itself, gamescope, and user-created packages for Deck depend on and making me be informed Linux in a a laugh and distinctive means.”
Ayaneo says the model of HoloISO the Subsequent Lite makes use of has been “optimized” through the corporate to paintings neatly at the software; in flip, that is meant to permit for extra strong efficiency, decrease energy intake all through play, controller and touchscreen compatibility, and extra. Necessarily, this implies the software will use an unofficial running machine in response to SteamOS that stocks lots of the Steam Deck’s options however received’t use SteamOS itself.
It’s unclear why Ayaneo first of all misled other people in regards to the software’s use of SteamOS. Fortunately, the opposite technical specs Ayaneo defined within the Subsequent Lite’s announcement seem to be nonetheless correct. This implies you’ll nonetheless be expecting this transportable PC to have a 7-inch 800P IPS display screen, a 47Wh battery, and hall-sensing joysticks.
