Why openSUSE is the perfect OS for handhelds
And how to bring openSUSE to your device as well!
Tobias Görgens
I am 22 years old and a student at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam. A few years ago, I started actively supporting open source projects such as WINE, SystemD and openSUSE with the aim of making software better for everyone.
No video of the event yet, sorry!
The Steam Deck has revolutionized the gaming handheld market. With the Linux-based immutable SteamOS, Valve has fostered an active community developing mods and alternative systems for this platform. Other manufacturers distribute Windows-based mobile consoles. However, time and time again it has been shown that they lag behind Linux in terms of software support.
But how easy is it to bring a Linux distribution, say openSUSE, to the Steam Deck?
In this talk, a prototype based on openSUSE's open technologies and infrastructure will be presented, which is already (almost) fully functional on the Steam Deck and many other devices.
What are the advantages of this and comparable systems? Are there any disadvantages?
Why will YOU personally want to use such a system?
And why is openSUSE a perfect basis for this and many other device classes?
The answers to these and many other questions are waiting for you! So come along!
