SteamOS desktop support opens the Steam Machine door wider
Valve's SteamOS 3.8.10 work makes it easier to build SteamOS-powered desktop gaming machines.
SteamOS is moving closer to proper desktop Steam Machine territory, letting PC builders experiment with console-style Linux gaming setups beyond the Steam Deck. It is still not perfect, especially around dual-boot and Nvidia support, but the direction is clear: Valve wants SteamOS to escape the handheld and invade the living room again. History is rebooting.
