SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go S models. We’re currently working on adding support for more devices.
if this is what it takes for people to start taking their first look at using linux, then i’m 100% here for it. it isn’t a desktop OS yet, but it’s definitely got eyes on the penguin now.

It wasn’t what introduced me to linux entirely, but it is absolutely what made me realize that Linux COULD be user friendly, so I definitely give credit to Valve for that. I am now gearing up to make the switch in the near future on my desktop.

Given the rapid deterioration of Windows/Microsoft, I 100% agree. I’ll be trying to install on my Ally this weekend.
