Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

    Yep. What I was meaning, will SteamOS boot right into KDE and be a computer operating system first, or boot into big picture mode and be a gaming system first.

      @PetulantBandicoot @bdonvr It’s more advanced than a “Steam Big Picture Wrapper thing”. When you’re in gaming mode it runs it’s own gamescope window manager, etc. In desktop mode it’s full plasma with KWin. I’d expect it would boot into gaming mode first, with desktop as something you can switch to.
