Summary
Valve is expanding SteamOS compatibility beyond the Steam Deck, allowing users to install SteamOS 3.8 on their own desktop PCs to build custom Steam Machines. The latest SteamOS 3.8.10 release includes improved support for recent Intel and AMD platforms, and Valve is working on Nvidia graphics support. This marks a return to the Steam Machine concept, but this time with Valve's own mature Linux-based operating system that users can install on any compatible hardware.
