From the title I thought it was a way to emulate a Steam deck on a computer and was a bit confuse at what the use case would be.

You can emulate a Steam Deck easily on any computer. Just boot up the ISO: https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download/?ver=custom https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download/?ver=custom

  AKAIK, SteamOS 3 hasn't been released publicly, and this is SteamOS 2 which is Debian based instead of Arch

    You can use https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso though Or just launch Steam with the command line argument that gives it the Steam Deck UI

    Wouldn’t the GPL require them to publish SteamOS 3? At least the source code, if not the ISO.

      Like with Android, I think only parts of the software that's GPL licensed, like the Linux kernel. It looks like this repo keeps a list of the license violations: https://gitlab.com/evlaV/holo-PKGBUILD#third-party-packagesrepositories-valve-are-in-violation-of-license https://gitlab.com/evlaV/holo-PKGBUILD#third-party-packagesr...

        Anyone knows what evlaV are labelling as "obfuscated"? I doubt valve released actually obfuscated source code. Are they complaining that the source is available as src.tar.gz containing patches+original source (more or less like Arch manages it) instead of git repository with history?

    You can find the packages here with at least some of the sources here https://steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud/archlinux-mirror/ https://steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud/archlinux-mirror/

The current dev instructions for the Deck could use some improvements: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/testing https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/testing Then again, emulating the performance may be very tough because a lot of it depends on setting the right TDP on a very specific chip. I like the recommendation to make sure it runs well on a slightly slower CPU, that should help with battery life on the actual Deck.
