3. SteamOS is our
Linux-based
operating system.
The base system draws from
Debian 8, code named
Debian Jessie.
Our work builds on top of the
solid Debian core and
optimizes it for a living room
experience.
Most of all, it is an open
Linux platform that leaves
you in full control. You can
take charge of your system
and install new software or
content that you want.

5. During a panel at LinuxCon in 2013, Valve co-founder and executive director Gabe Newell stated that
he believed "Linux and open source are the future of gaming" (though his beliefs about games
themselves being open source is unclear), going on to say that the company is aiding game developers
who want to make games compatible with Linux, and that they would be making an announcement the
following week related to introducing Linux into the living room. On September 20, 2013, Valve posted a
statement on its website titled The Steam Universe is Expanding in 2014 which teased three new
announcements from them related to "even more ways to connect the dots for customers who want
Steam in the living-room.“ The first announcement was revealed on September 23 as SteamOS, with
Valve saying they had "come to the conclusion that the environment best suited to delivering value to
customers is an operating system built around Steam itself."[ A large focus of the reveal was the
openness of the operating system, with it being announced that users would be able to alter or replace
any part of the software, and that it would be free.
In October 2013, Valve announced Steam Dev Days; a two-day developer conference where video
game developers will be able to test and provide feedback on SteamOS and Steam Machines. In
October 2013, Nvidia also announced their collaboration with Valve to support SteamOS with the help
of a development suite called Nvidia GameWorks which incorporates PhysX, OptiX, VisualFX and other
Nvidia-proprietary APIs and implementations thereof.
In November 2013, Valve confirmed that they would not be making any exclusive games for SteamOS,
and were also encouraging other developers not to as it goes against their philosophy of selling games
wherever customers are. In December, Valve announced that a beta version of SteamOS would be
released for download on December 13, 2013. When this beta version released, Valve suggested
waiting until 2014 to use it unless the user was confident using Linux operating systems.
In mid-October 2015, preorders of the Steam Controller, Steam Link, and Alienware branded Steam
Machines became available. The official release date for Steam Machines was on November 10, 2015.

8. There are two different installation methods for
SteamOS.
The recommended method is the Automated
Installation method, which installs the default
disk configuration.
The Expert method uses Debian Installer, which
allows for some customization after an automated
install step.
11. Automated
Installation
Download the SteamOS installation from
http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download/?ver=custom
Unzip the SteamOS.zip file to a blank, FAT32-formatted USB stick. Make sure to
use an MBR partition.
Put the USB stick in your target machine. Boot your machine and tell the BIOS to
boot off the stick. (usually something like F8, F11, or F12 will bring up the BIOS
boot menu).
Make sure you select the UEFI entry, it may look something like "UEFI: Patriot
Memory PMAP". If there is no UEFI entry, you may need to enable UEFI support
in your BIOS setup.
Selected "Automated install (WILL ERASE DISK!)" from the menu.
The rest of the installation is unattended and will repartition the drive and install
SteamOS.
12. Automated
Installation
After installation is complete, the system will reboot and automatically log on and
install Steam.
At this point an internet connection is required. If you have an internet connection,
Steam will automatically install itself. If you do not have an internet connection (for
instance, if you need to connect to a WiFi access point) you will get a popup
telling you this.
Close the popup and you will get the network configuration UI where you can set
up your network. Once you are connected to the internet, close this UI and Steam
will install itself.
After Steam finishes installing, your system will automatically reboot and create a
backup of the system partition.
When the backup completes, select "reboot" to boot into your freshly installed
SteamOS
