Why hasn't he released a version of SteamOS that runs on generic desktop PCs yet? He has the perfect opportunity right now to kill Windows once and for all, now that Microsoft is forcing people off Windows 10 and everyone is desperately looking for an alternative. SteamOS is the only Linux distro polished enough and easy enough to install that the average normie gamer can do it. He's missing a golden opportunity.

>polished enough
>to run on known hardware
>>
>>106829601
I installed it on my ryzen 3700x + radeon rx580 machine and it works perfectly. All thatโ€™s missing is intel and nvidia support.
>>
so they can sell hardware duh
>>
>>106829591
That happened years ago anon
>>
>>106829591
because Google are now about to push Android for desktop MASSIVELY for all Windows 10 losers
>>
>>106829591
Because no one would use it. When will you freetards understand that 95% of PC users will NEVER use any other OS than the one that comes pre-instaled?
>>
>>106829591
Because you don't need it. Just install your favorite Linux distro and use proton.

What kind of a retard wants Android for desktop OS?
>>
>>106829591
It's called Bazzite anon.
>>
>>106829833
Google banned app sideloading recently for Android.
>>
>>106829591
What's wrong with Linux Mint?
>>
>>106829591
why do you need valve to maintain a distro for you? if you like steam os so much pick literally any distro you want and slap kde on it

This is true.
If valve wants to win the gaymer market he should be slinging deals with Dell and ASUS and HP and Samsung to provide SteamOS as default installed OSs

The issue is maintaining and supporting across hardware. Valve, for all their money, does not have the staff count to handle a dedicated OS across heterogenous hardware configurations.

To do so costs money, doesn't really make money since they provide steam on Windows, Linux and MacOS already and it basically just works everywhere on Linux.

There's little upside to Gabe & co to take laptop and desktop marketshare.

What do you think ChromeOS is these days?
>>
>>106832139
All they need to do besides supporting handhelds is supporting AMD's APUs, where plugging in a usb drive in any mini PC turns it into a mini console. zoomers will see and follow what influencers do on tiktok.

how shocking and unexpected

why havent you killed yourself yet loser?
do something useful for your mom and fertilize her compost pile
everyone wishes you were dead, especially your mom
how embarrassing it must be for her to have to explain to her friends all the time that her son is still a fat 50 year old incel NEET loser eating all her food and stinking up her basement spending every waking minute of his incel life "owning M$/loonix"
there is no bigger no-life loser on this entire shithole of a site than you, and that's saying a lot
just end your worthless life already, the world will be a better place with you dead

>>106834009
They're going to kill ChromeOS and use Android for everything now.

>>106834188
Does this mean we're going to see the return of x86 Android? Now I'm curious what the merge would look like.
