With the development of high-performance, compact chipsets, portable gaming PCs such as Valve's Steam Deck , ASUS' ROG Ally , and Lenovo's Legion Go have appeared, allowing you to play PC games anytime, anywhere. Masu. In addition, AAA-level PC game titles such as `` Resident Evil RE: 4 '' and `` DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT '' have been released for the iPhone 15 Pro, which is equipped with Apple's A17 Pro chip. The conventional wisdom that you can only play on a stationary, high-performance gaming PC has been overturned.
Steam Deck is equipped with SteamOS, which is developed based on Linux, and ROG Ally and Legion Go are equipped with Windows 11 as the OS, but ``SteamOS is almost exclusively an OS for Steam Deck, and Windows is ideal for portable gaming PCs.'' 'There is still no optimal OS solution for portable gaming PCs,' said Curt McMaster, CEO of Playtron.
Playtron is a startup with 10 million dollars (about 1.5 billion yen) and 18 employees, and is developing a Linux-based OS for portable gaming PCs called ``PlaytronOS''. Employees and collaborators include McMaster, former CEO and co-founder of CyanogenMod , which developed an Android-based smartphone OS, former director of product management at Qualcomm, and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The former president and CEO of America (SIEA), the developer of the OS `` ChimeraOS '', which is a customized version of SteamOS, and the `` box86 '', a tool for running x86 programs on Arm systems, are all there.

CEO McMaster said, ``We are in talks with many OEMs and mobile phone operators to build and deploy PlaytronOS-powered devices around the world by 2025.'' He revealed that he plans to release a portable gaming PC equipped with this.
According to CEO McMaster, installing Windows costs $80 (about 12,000 yen) per machine, whereas PlaytronOS costs about $10 (about 1,500 yen) per machine. . Also, McMaster claims that PlaytronOS, which is based on Fedora Silverblue Linux, is a little more secure than SteamOS because it makes it impossible to hack anti-cheat tools through reverse engineering.
Furthermore, most portable gaming PCs are equipped with Arm-based chipsets, but PlaytronOS is also scheduled to have a function that allows you to launch x86 compatible Windows games. PlaytronOS will not be completely open sourced, and it is unclear how open it will be, but it seems that the reason why it has already released a public alpha version is because it is expecting feedback from the Linux community. Tom's Hardware, an IT news site, says, ``If PlaytronOS is eventually made chargeable, it may be seen as cowardly by the FOSS (Free/Open Source Software) community.However, ChimeraOS and HoloISO Considering the existence of alternatives to SteamOS such as , charging for PlaytronOS will not be a wise choice unless many hardware manufacturers support Playtron.
