After an agonizing wait, Valve finally announced not only that it sent out new prototypes of the Steam Machines game controller and controllers to the first three hundred lucky ones, but also that it has its own free operating system SteamOS .
For those who have forgotten, we recall: Valve announced grand plans for its Steam service, is going to release its own operating system based on Linux, as well as to offer special game consoles Steam Machines and an innovative game controller.
A batch of three hundred prototypes of Steam Machines sent to the first lucky ones
The first three hundred beta testers in the United States have already delivered the first prototype consoles, and now you can download the beta version of SteamOS 1.0 from the Web. However, before you decide to try it, we inform you: according to the official FAQ, the installation process and the operating system itself may seem very difficult for inexperienced users.
However, if it does not scare you and you want to install a new SteamOS on your computer, then you can download it either (Please note that we are not responsible for the software you have installed. You will do everything at your own peril and risk). We also note here that, unfortunately, owners of personal computers with graphics cards from AMD, the current version of SteamOS only supports graphics cards from NVIDIA.
The system requirements for the SteamOS operating system are as follows:
- Processor: Intel or AMD with support for 64-bit architecture;
- Memory: 4 GB or more;
- Hard disk: 500 GB or more;
- Video card: manufactured by NVIDIA (development of drivers for graphics systems from AMD and Intel is already underway);
- Optional: motherboard with UEFI support, the presence of USB-port.
