I'm looking forward to being able to install it on a desktop PC with an Nvidia GPU. Nothing against AMD, I just already own a 2070 Super.
On a desktop, I don't think SteamOS actually gets you much compared to just running Steam as an app on top of a normal Linux distribution.
Steam as an app has big picture mode but I'm not sure how that compares to the entire OS being dedicated to being displayed on a TV and managed by a controller. I'm planning to turn some old hardware into a dedicated living room game console.
The entire OS? SteamOS has custom repositories, but I'm reasonably sure for the most part it's a normal KDE Desktop running on Arch Linux with Steam Big Picture auto starting.
Well sure, if it's a dedicated living room game console then of course SteamOS would be ideal. But you said "desktop PC!"
Good point, I guess I meant desktop pc in regards to hardware but I can see how that'd be confusing.
Nvidia GPU could be a problem, I don't think steam OS has the Nvidia drivers
