Valve is rumored to release its SteamOS onto the desktop PC at any moment, seeing PC gamers freed from Windows and its bloatware, with SteamOS “almost here” according to a new post on X.
X user @SadlyItsBradley posted that SteamOS is “almost here” but made further comments that he “didn’t make the image I posted above. it’s the official generic splash screen for SteamOS general release (non-Steam Deck devices). Kathiel Rayna replied, saying“please tell me this isn’t copium and indeed a public official SteamOS is gonna be a thing soon!”
@SadlyItsBradley replied, saying: “not copium. Valve pushed a ton of commits to prepare for SteamOS general public release“.
Valve has its SteamOS on its Steam Deck gaming handheld, but having a non-Windows operating system for gaming on your desktop gaming PC or gaming laptop would be awesome to see. Sure, we’ve got Linux, but a full SteamOS for desktops and laptops would see tens of millions of gamers (and probably over a short period of time) giving Windows the finger, and switching to Valve’s in-house operating system.
SteamOS’s release would also allow gaming handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally, to switch over from Windows to SteamOS, which would be a huge win for Valve (and a loss for Microsoft, who for too long has had OS dominance).
