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.

    Isn’t SreamOS already available for download? It has been for months actually… What do you mean by “release a desktop version of SteamOS”?

      The new version on the Steam Deck isn’t available - the old version of course is, but you might as well use Bazzite.

      I dont think Valve would bother trying to convert people to Linux - regardless of where people’s OSes are, they are the gaming store. Plus, Valve really doesn’t think developers should develop Linux native ports, so I dont think they’re really push people to use Linux - just use whatever you want and play shit with Proton if needed.
