Steam Will Become an Operating System
Valve recently announced that Steam will become an operating system. SteamOS will be offered for free and will feature all the games you love.
And since SteamOS is based on the bulletproof Linux architecture, it will provide a rock solid gaming experience.
Great news for gamers and the Linux community comes from Valve co-founder and executive director Gabe Newell. The news is that Valve is working on a Linux-based operating system designed for the living room and TV: SteamOS. The operating system will be released in the near future, we just don’t know precisely when. We do know though that it will provide access to tons of games and all the other features you love about Steam.
“As we’ve been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we’ve come to the conclusion that the
environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself,” said Valve. “SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen. It will be available soon as a free stand-alone operating system for living room machines.”
