SteamOS

SteamOS is the primary operating system for the Steam Machine gaming platform and Steam Deck hybrid video game console by Valve.
The initial versions of SteamOS, versions 1.0 and 2.0, were based on the Debian distribution of Linux. SteamOS was built to support streaming of video games from one personal computer to the one running SteamOS within the same network, though the operating system can support standalone systems and was intended to be used as part of Valve's Steam Machine platform. With SteamOS, Valve encouraged developers to incorporate Linux compatibility into their releases to better support Linux gaming options.
In July 2021, Valve announced the Steam Deck, a hybrid video game console. It runs SteamOS 3.0, which is based on the Arch Linux distribution with a KDE Plasma 5 desktop, rather than the Debian base used for earlier versions of SteamOS.
