Now if Valve can just give us an up-to-date version of SteamOS for desktops...!

Probably have to wait till they have the official general version of steam os out first.

Depending on what the next product is, development might speed up.

Imo the largest thing holding back a desktop (or consolized) steam os is that a majority of the console space wants to be able to play multiplayer games, and the most popular ones have anti-cheat, which imo is the biggest hurdle valve must beat if they want the device to actually sell.

The big anti-cheat tools (BattleEye and EAC) are already compatible. The only remaining problems are a small number of developers that intentionally announced that they will be proactively blocking linux... like Bungie.

Not saying that its all in valves hands, but its a problem valve and the said companies need to discuss in the back room in order to get the ball rolling, regardless.
