Being used to modern journalism I was not expecting even a link to schematics, but instead I was given list of all required components and even re-upload of a video showing how to assemble it. What a treasure this website is
3 daysGamingonlinux and Steamdeckhq are the two sites I follow specifically for steam hardware news, and they’re both pretty good about providing source links and actual info.

gamingonlinux is not classic journalism. They are just a bunch of nerds loving what they do, which makes the website super awesome.

I hate it the most when it’s a link that looks like it will go to the source but it just goes to another, older, story on the same site.

Do you guys think they will also open-source half-life 3 once it’s released?

No, you can buy them. They didn’t design any screens and chips, they just bought parts and assembled them. And now they told you what parts to buy and how to assemble them.

Ah, so the parts aren’t open source then, just the design for this specific doodad

They’re off-the-shelf parts. That’s normal for open-source hardware

I don’t know much about electronic components. This is a diy kit with a esp32 board in it. Could you reflash with valve firmware and have it just work? Or would different aspect ratio of screen mean a slight change to a config or full reworking?

You’d probably have to significantly change the firmware - It would probably be easier to just program it to pull stuff using esphome
