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.

      Full fledged SteamOS desktop release when?

      Maybe never. If I was at Valve, I would not want to open Pandora’s box of NVidia drivers.

      What would an official steamOS desktop do that bazzite can’t? Unless you need commercial support because you are selling steam machines I don’t see how a official release would be of advantage.

        I think there’s just people that trust Valve more than Linux in general.

        SteamOS on the deck is extremely foolproof, and people who are otherwise scared of Linux seem to think SteamOS magically fixes every perceived issue with desktop Linux.

        That’s my best guess but I’m just some dude.
