Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows
The recent news that SteamOS may soon be shipped with third-party devices could be particularly important for Linux gaming on desktops.
Even gamers nexus' Steve today said that they're about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It's happening, y'all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn't precisely say they're starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

I tried their iso on a mini PC yesterday and uhh... not so good.
Installed mint and had steam running in 15 minutes after the disappointment tho.
Where did you find a SteamOS 3.0 ISO?
That is SteamOS 2.0 which is nearly a decade old.
There's no ISO.
Wrong

Ok, it's an img file, whatever. Same same.
Oh man that's the old SteamOS 2.0 from 2015.
Valve completely rebased and revamped it in 2022 for the steamdeck. Steam OS 3.6 is the current version and only available for the steamdeck.
....then I wonder why on earth Valve keeps the link up. Dunno their thinking.
This is the version based on Debian, which is ~10 years old.
The new one is based on Arch.
How nice of them to just leave it up there.
I only know this because I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS on my Bazzite installation (it was in the drop-down menu), and it's actually Arch instead of Debian. Not sure if it's legit or what...
It should be arch, I also checked HoloISO and they removed all of their releases.
