Quoting: MohandevirPesonnally, I prefer Holoiso. I can use it exactly like SteamOS, on my PC. Emudeck works the same & the app store is the same. Quite similar in behavior. That may be the reason. They might have decided this, because they could not get official SteamOS from Valve, yet. Just my two cents.

Agree that a SteamDeck like experience is preferable, but I see HoloIso itself as a problematic choice. In my search for a SteamOS-like experience HoloIso was indeed the closest one, but was also the most problematic.

Worried about the Holoiso thing. Wonder why they haven't went with something more say, reputable and actively developed, like ChimeraOS.
If I'm not remembering wrong, they were the first to sent an AYANEO to ChimeraOS team (even before Valve sent a SteamDeck), so they know about it and there's a resemblance of collaboration. Could be because of ChimeraOS's choice of using Gnome instead of KDE? (and wanting for their device to be more SteamDeck like?)

If you're talking about performance, Valorant runs fine with it on.

If you're talking about security, you can circumvent the anti-virus (and most other kernel-level software) with a Windows VM.

I was asking how efficient is in terms of combating cheating in whatever form. Is Valorant cheaters free, or at least is cheating significantly reduced compared with other AC software, so much so that is worth (for Riot) the public backlash?
And as a side note, what other game (if any) is using it?

Found on Youtube a comment from Taki Udon about Ayaneo os status:

I saw it in person in 2022. It looked like it was done at that point. They went back to the drawing board after that and it's dead/in development hell.

So AYANEO OS...whatever was called, what happened with it?

I suppose Valve can't quite differentiate between actual M&K and a Steam Controller in a M&K profile, because I I'm listed with more than 60% games played with Mouse and Keyboard, which I don't do ever. I always use a gamepad or the SC.

I only play with controllers, I wouldn't even know how to play with MKB although I used to, many years ago. I blame the Steam Controller for that, once I got it in may hands I forgot about MKB, is that good. Besides, I'm now a couch player, no place for MKB.

Quoting: MohandevirI miss the old bpm, in that regard.

I miss it too. For all its sins (read bugs) it had a warm feeling to it. The new one feels cold, clinical, impersonal. I'm getting used to it, but in one place is still sorely lacking, and that is controller settings. The old BPM visual and intuitive gamepad settings were replaced with a cumbersome and convoluted mess of nested menus over menus. Probably useful for Steam Deck I suppose, where screen estate is premium, but, at least for me, useful only for basic profiles, the more advanced the profile I'm trying to set, the more lost I get.
Luckily I've kept an old Steam client from before the new interface and I use that to set new profiles, heck I still frequently game on that.

I get your point, the old BPM was nice, but it lacked in many features though...

It lacked features because it was abandoned, at some point they realized they have to shift all focus towards the future (and still unknown to us) SteamOS 3 gamepadui, and kept the old one barely alive. Probably the last ever feature implemented was the SteamPlay section, but beside that it was left to slowly rot away, while only the desktop client received the shiny new features. As a side note though, there's one thing that you can still do it in the OLD BPM, but not in the new one, that is upgrading/downgrading SC's firmware. They did released a small tool for that, but is Windows only. Granted, I rarely used it.
