This doesn't seem accurate — what about the basic, non-oled, steam deck?
(Yes the em-dash was intentional, I like them better than hyphens for division in sentences, don't @ me I'm not a bot)
You are right, edited. I remember reading somewhere that they do hardware-based whitelisting, and that it was based on the screen's HW, but the point was that they can (and a lot of game unfortunately do) somehow whitelist Steamdeck only, while still not letting desktop Linux play.
