EmuDeck coder pivots to hardware with Linux-based “EmuDeck Machines” | Ars Technica
If you're familiar with the name EmuDeck, you're likely a Steam Deck owner looking for an easy and user-friendly way to run emulators on your Steam Deck handheld. Now, one of the coders behind that software suite is dipping their toes into branded gaming hardware with the EmuDeck Machines project, now seeking funding on IndieGogo.
The EmuDeck Machines obviously come with EmuDeck software preinstalled to let users easily "play your retro games from your couch." But they also promise to let you run games from Steam and other popular PC launchers through the Linux-based, gaming-focused Bazzite OS. The vibe is definitely similar to that of Valve's own aborted Steam Machines effort from years back, albeit in a less "official" capacity.
