What is SteamOS?
SteamOS is a public release of our Linux-based operating system. The base system draws from Debian 8, code named Debian Jessie. It builds on top of the solid Debian core and optimizes it for a living room experience. Most of all, it is an open Linux platform that leaves you in full control. You can take charge of your system and install new software or content as you want. The installation experience is not intended for a non-technical user.
Do I need to pay for SteamOS?
No, You can download SteamOS for free from the SteamOS website and install on a USB drive yourself, or you can buy this item if you would prefer the convenience.
So, what is it not?
SteamOS only supports a certain set of hardware (you can read more in the SteamOS FAQ). Support for newer hardware will be added over time, but there are no plans to add more support for older hardware.
Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system. SteamOS is being designed and optimized for the living room experience.
What are the hardware requirements for SteamOS?
UEFI Firmware (recommended)
Ok great, How do I use it?
- Put the USB stick in your target machine. Boot your machine and tell the BIOS to boot off the stick. (usually something like F8, F11, or F12 will bring up the BIOS boot menu).
- Make sure you select the UEFI entry, it may look something like “UEFI: Patriot Memory PMAP”. If there is no UEFI entry, you may need to enable UEFI support in your BIOS setup.
- Selected “Automated install (WILL ERASE DISK!)” from the menu.
- The rest of the installation is unattended and will repartition the drive and install SteamOS.
- After installation is complete, the system will reboot and automatically log on and install Steam. At this point an internet connection is required. If you have an internet connection, Steam will automatically install itself. If you do not have an internet connection (for instance, if you need to connect to a WiFi access point) you will get a popup telling you this. Close the popup and you will get the network configuration UI where you can set up your network. Once you are connected to the internet, close this UI and Steam will install itself.
- After Steam finishes installing, your system will automatically reboot and create a backup of the system partition.
- When the backup completes, select “reboot” to boot into your freshly installed SteamOS
