Yup, Valve has announced their OS. A linux based OS that will be used along with its big picture to invade the living room and domain of consoles. What more can be said at this time?

I may or may not be tempted to dual-boot again for the first time in many years...

Re: SteamOS
The OS looks to be built only around gaming and media functionality. To me this is problematic. But it opens up a few options. If you need a streaming only system then you can go really cheap. But if you want to go full SteamOS I don't see this as an option just yet.
I want to install an OS onto my system, built around games, but with the media and office functionality I've become use to.
Maybe my Haswell-E will become my main PC for gaming and my Sandy-E can be my SteamOS PC next year or soon after.

Re: SteamOS
I can't wait to read an official statement from Richard Stallman about this.
As for me, I'll continue to run STEAM from within Windows on my PC for the foreseeable future.
I can see where the content streaming thingy might come in handy though.

Re: SteamOS
As I already have a media PC, might just throw a Decentish quiet GPU in and let it pull double duty as a gaming (but not hardcore) box as well

Re: SteamOS
Hey Monty! Good to see you.
@SB: I'm sure that OpenOffice / OfficeLibre will run on it. Firefox too.
@SP: I don't even want to think about what he'll say. Or maybe he might just stop caring, give up and just go fishing in the nice peace and quiet or something.

Re: SteamOS
I'm sure open office and such will but I'm stuck on MS office and accounting software does not even want to know of windows 8. Firefox is slowly but surely falling at the way side. Chrome is becoming my browser of choice.
Re: SteamOS
Linux has Chromium!
With AMD getting game devs to circumvent DirectX with their open source API on consoles, nVidia pledging driver support, and Source 2 being Linux native (I'm sure) I think things are about to get very, very interesting. John Carmack will probably add his weight to the issue too…

Re: SteamOS
AHA!
I wonder if there is much MS and Sony can legally do to stop AMD...

Re: SteamOS
MS and Sony cannot do anything to AMD. It is up to developers what they want to do and up to MS and Sony if they will allow it on their platforms.
