SteamOS 3.8 Opens DIY Steam Machine Era with Any PC Parts
TL;DR Summary
Valve says SteamOS 3.8 lets you build a Steam Machine at home using any PC parts, with NVIDIA driver support on the way. Current SteamOS favors AMD GPUs and is best suited for living-room setups connected to a TV. Installing on non-AMD hardware is technically possible but more complex, and with RAM shortages, building a gaming PC now may cost about the same as a Steam Machine.
