Does anyone have their Steam Holo yet? Or could that drop just be all of the Valve staff taking a break from their game testing?

SteamOS Holo is also used in Steam Deck (and all others who install SteamOS). Holo is just the codename for it. Same as the one in the Steam Machine.

Thats makes me wonder if the dip there is natural wear and tear taking SteamDecks out of play, and folks not replacing them because there were none in stock for awhile this summer.
