SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' (www.pcgamer.com)

wait does this mean I will be able to install it on my PS Vita?!
Steam Deck is too big for my tiny hands!

Then get bigger hands.

[–] shroomad@kbin.social 4 points 7 months ago

are you offering yours?

In case this is not a joke, Steam only runs on x86 processors. The Vita has an ARM processor. But I bet someone made some Linux that runs on the Vita. Just not with Steam games.

it's not a joke, I don't know shit about processors

You could use google....

[–] shroomad@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I did, "steam os run on vita" didn't give me anything. I'm not about to learn all about processors to answer this simple question lol that's silly

Can SteamOS run on PlayStation Vita and if not why not?

[–] shroomad@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

thanks, I still rather ask humans than an AI that doesn't know how to bake a cake

apple made a wine for arm to x86 translation, i forget the name.

[–] FailBait@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Rosetta. But part of the CPU had x86 translation functions built in to help so not as useful here.

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wine and Rosetta are fundamentally different things. Wine is a reimplementation of Windows APIs on Linux, whereas Rosetta is hardware emulation (famously, Wine Is Not an Emulator).

The equivalent of Rosetta on Linux is QEMU, and specifically qemu-user-static.

The thing about hardware emulation, though, is that it has a non-trivial processor overhead. Apple Silicon gets away with it because it's a very fast chip which has been designed partly with hardware emulation in mind. Trying to emulate x86 on some generic off-the-shelf mobile ARM chip is not going to give great results.
