From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When is Valve going to release SteamOS Desktop? I would use it for many things.
Their used to be a steamos version made for the desktop. I believe it got abandoned a few years ago.
The old version, based on Debian and made with Steam Machines in mind, was abandoned. SteamOS 3, based on Arch and made with the Deck in mind, is still meant to have an official generic release at some point afaik.
