Come on Valve. Release SteamOS for the general PC and I'll jump ship immediately.

Same. I have no interest in Windows 11. Bazzite looks good, but I could wait for a generally optimized SteamOS 3 instead. I would like to try it on a cheap system with an older Intel CPU and RX 7300/7400 or RTX 3050 6GB.

I do not trust Valve. Never have, never will. Gabe is in it for the cash. Nothing more or less.

Just curious. I genuinely do not know.

What exactly does a SteamOS offer you that you cannot get by Ubuntu-install-Steam or LinuxMint-install-Steam?

Best I can tell, every Steam enabled game works (or doesn't due to anti-cheat etc) just the same on Linux? and SteamOS runs the widely available KDE desktop?

Valve updates and Steam integration.

Also, Proton beta/stable channels integrated to the OS withour having to set anything extra or on the side up.
