Valve appear to have some pretty ambitious future plans for Steam, as we've seen recently in a leak (and not for the first time) that Valve has plans for ARM64 and Android support on Linux.
For the implications, I believe it would create a first class commercial level competition for Windows. It would open the door for a vendor trusted platform that implemented all the anti-cheat technologies. Paving the way to lift the virtual Linux ban on first day AAA games compatibility.
I don’t really understand what this means. Can you explain the implications?
They mean when will Valve release an official Steam OS 3 ISO that we can install on our own PCs.
Isn’t Steam OS currently built on Arch?
Yes, and ChromeOS is built from Gentoo. That doesn’t mean much, the end user experience is worlds different.
