Valve today held their Steam Deck Development live stream on YouTube today to share more details on the upcoming Steam Deck gaming handheld and the SteamOS 3.0 operating system it’s running.

SteamOS was available to download for free, like many other GNU/Linux distributions out there, and you were able to install it on any machine if you wanted to turn it into a full gaming computer. I personally followed its development, and the latest version ever released was SteamOS 2.195, more than two years ago.
