Please release the Steam OS desktop version officially so we can build our own Steam Machines with it

You already can, if you have all AMD hardware (APU, CPU + GPU) you can just get the holoiso recovery image for steam OS and install that.

Or even better just get bazzite, which is basically steam os but working on more platforms (nvidia compatible, other handhelds, notebooks, ..)

https://bazzite.gg/

You could already do this for YEARS, just pick up a AMD APU mini pc from beelink and install bazzite on it.

you can install it even now .but the PC you re using could lack the proper drivers .Steam cant garantee it will work flawlessly on your device except theirs.

Makes no sense for a desktop. Remember why Windows 8 flopped? Because it booted into some thing you needed to exit all the time to access the desktop.

Guess what OS does the exact same thing, booting into a thing you need to exit to access your desktop.

My only issue with Steam OS is my needs make the make gaming computer also my home office, my media system, my photo shoping system, my podcasting system, my internet system and my emulation system.

You can all of those except photoshop and podcasting (easily).

That's nonsense, you can specify whether the OS boots into gamemode or desktop on startup.

You seem to be very knowledgeable about barely announced, unreleased hardware. Care to leak anything, with proof?

Unreleased hardware running now years old - stable - steam OS.

It's a glorified steam deck in a box, we know what to expect and we know the OS.

I wasn't talking about hardware. do you really think hardware determines if steam opens into big picture mode on startup?

They can even make you open into tiktok and watch 137 ads before launching a single game, if they want to.

"they" who? your sound card? is the hardware in the room with you right now?

I understand that. what does that have to do with changing software setting so it doesn't boot into big picture mode? or do you still think hardware does that?

They don't need to now, they are releasing the Steam Box instead and I doubt they will release a PC version due to, too many different types of hardware to support.

steam box locks down the hardware they have to support making it much more less work stress for the support dev's while keeping it all working and ensuring any new software features added in the future work as they should.
