Valve unlocks DIY Steam Machine era with desktop SteamOS support
TL;DR Summary
Valve says SteamOS 3.8 now lets you build a Steam Machine using any PC parts, with SteamOS 3.8.10 improving compatibility with newer Intel/AMD hardware. Nvidia driver support is in the works, though it may not arrive this year. For now SteamOS on desktop offers a couch-friendly experience but isn’t designed for dual-booting; you can install SteamOS on a Windows PC by wiping the drive, and DIY builds remain an option while official hardware reservation timelines continue.
