With Valve continuing to ignore growing demand for a SteamOS-powered gaming PC, a YouTuber took matters into his own hands by installing SteamOS on an AMD Strix Halo-powered Windows 11 laptop. Popular YouTube channel ETA Prime installed SteamOS 3.9 on an Asus TUF Gaming A14 laptop using the official Steam Deck recovery image. The experiment showed that the TUF Gaming A14 hardware can run SteamOS natively, offering both a gaming mode and a traditional desktop interface. Crimson Desert also ran well at 1440p on High settings, while Spider-Man 2 averaged more than 80 FPS at 1440p on High settings with FSR disabled. During the battery life test, the laptop ran the game for around two hours and 25 minutes at 800p, but lasted only around one hour and 40 minutes at 1200p.
