SteamOS Coming to Desktops
Valve is preparing to bring its Linux-based operating system SteamOS, which has achieved great success with Steam Deck in recent years, to desktop computers. Although no official announcement has been made yet, rumors from reliable sources indicate that this operating system will be offered to the desktop platform very soon. SteamOS can be a strong alternative for users who want to get rid of Windows’ bloatware (unnecessary software) and are looking for a simpler, game-focused experience.
Advantages of SteamOS on Desktop Computers
SteamOS was developed by Valve as a game-focused operating system. It especially draws attention with its minimalist interface and structure free of unnecessary software. These features have the potential to increase gaming performance on desktop computers. In addition, thanks to a compatibility layer called Proton, many games can run close to their performance on Windows.
Unlike Windows, which constantly consumes system resources with updates, SteamOS aims to provide users with a simple and functional experience. This can be a great advantage, especially for gamers who want to use system resources in the most efficient way while playing games.
After the success of Steam Deck, signs that Valve is preparing SteamOS for desktop computers have started to increase. In social media posts by a well-known source, @SadlyItsBradley, it was stated that final preparations are being made for SteamOS to be offered to desktop users. This development may further strengthen the place of Linux-based operating systems in the gaming world.
However, it is stated that SteamOS is not currently fully compatible with NVIDIA GPUs and performs better on AMD and Intel GPUs. Although it is known that Valve is working to solve this problem, it is not clear how this compatibility will be achieved before the launch.
The arrival of SteamOS on desktop computers may be the beginning of a new era for gamers. This Linux-based operating system draws attention with its gaming performance and user-friendly structure, and is on its way to becoming a solid alternative to Windows.
