If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.

    It’s not as simple as just releasing something. They need to develop it first, and making it a good experience with arbitrary hardware is actually pretty hard.

      Not hard enough that it hasn’t already been done for years by volunteers with zero budget.

        There is no distro that supports arbitrary hardware as well as SteamOS supports the Steam Deck.
