Valve has released detailed instructions for downloading and installing SteamOS via a USB drive, using tools like Rufus or Balena Etcher. Secure Boot must be disabled for installation, and users should be aware there’s no straightforward way to dual-boot with Windows. The SteamOS 3.7 update introduces critical updates such as an upgraded Linux kernel and new graphics drivers, improving game compatibility. Unlike its predecessor, the current SteamOS targets specific hardware, offering a better foundation but remains unsuited for a range of gaming PCs.
Valve's instructions guide users on how to download a SteamOS recovery image and install it, although dual-booting with Windows is not officially supported.
The SteamOS 3.7 update includes significant enhancements like the latest Linux kernel version, new Arch Linux base, and improved graphics drivers, enhancing overall performance.
Original SteamOS struggled with gaming compatibility on various PCs, but the current version focuses on a single hardware platform, improving game support significantly.
While today's SteamOS has a stronger foundation than its predecessor, its support for hardware like Intel and Nvidia is still limited, making it less suitable for many gaming PCs.
