Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers) (lemmy.ml)

Possibly related, but I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS through BoxBuddy. Dunno if it's legit or what, but I was able to play games through it (though made no sense to). This was a week or two ago that I saw it on the dropdown when installing a new box.

Edit: I see other people in this thread mentioning some old steamos so maybe it's that I dunno, maybe I will check later.

If it's based off of Debian 12 then it's the old version of SteamOS.

Just opened it up to check.. It is Arch. I was able to grab pacman in it, and use it to get fastfetch to confirm (as if I needed to at that point lol).
