If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.

    Reminder that supporting a single GPU is a lot simpler than supporting all of them…

      Also, SteamOS would make a dogshit desktop OS. It’s designed specifically for Steam’s Big Picture Mode. It has Arch running in the background, but that’s not the primary focus of the OS.

      It would be great for something like an arcade cabinet or a family TV, but not so great for a desktop.
