SteamOS 2.6.0 Released, Available for Download
The Steam Operating System ("SteamOS") is a collection of various pieces of software, such as the operating system executable code, embedded software, firmware, fonts, and other data, including any updates (referred to collectively as the "Software"). The Software contains free and open source software ("FOSS") as well as the proprietary Steam Client (see below II.) and third party proprietary software (see below III.). A list of contained packages along with their respective FOSS or proprietary licenses as well as source code for FOSS packages can be found at http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/. You are responsible for complying with applicable third party licenses in your use and/or redistribution of the Software.
The future is here and it’s called SteamOS, a free Linux distribution built around the popular Steam gaming distribution platform and based on the powerful Debian GNU/Linux operating system. Being targeted towards the regular gaming user, the SteamOS operating system provides a gaming platform where Steam is the main software used by users to enjoy some of the best gaming experiences on Linux.
Supports both UEFI- and BIOS-based machines
No one ever thought this could happen, Valve choosing Linux to build their Steam-based gaming operating system on open source technologies. However, users will also be able to run regular Linux applications inside SteamOS, thanks to its regular desktop mode powered by the GNOME desktop environment. Powered by a recent Linux kernel, SteamOS supports both UEFI- and BIOS-based machines, proprietary graphics cards, including Nvidia and ATI, as well as modern, high-end hardware components.
What New in SteamOS 2.60 :
- A new kernel which fixes some problems in the udeb packaging.
- install libnvidia-encode1:i386 if it was not installed
- add chronyd network-manager hook
- security updates
