Steam is coming to a new operating system

 

As we’ve been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we’ve come to the conclusion that the environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself. SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen. It will be available soon as a free stand-alone operating system for living room machines.

 

 

Living room & Steam

 

Finally, you don’t have to give up your favorite games, your online friends, and all the Steam features you love just to play on the big screen. SteamOS, running on any living room machine, will provide access to the best games and user-generated content available.

 

 

Fast forward

 

In SteamOS, we have achieved significant performance increases in graphics processing, and we’re now targeting audio performance and reductions in input latency at the operating system level. Game developers are already taking advantage of these gains as they target SteamOS for their new releases.

 

 

Cooperating system

 

Steam is not a one-way content broadcast channel, it’s a collaborative many-to-many entertainment platform, in which each participant is a multiplier of the experience for everyone else. With SteamOS, “openness” means that the hardware industry can iterate in the living room at a much faster pace than they’ve been able to. Content creators can connect directly to their customers. Users can alter or replace any part of the software or hardware they want. Gamers are empowered to join in the creation of the games they love. SteamOS will continue to evolve, but will remain an environment designed to foster these kinds of innovation.

 

 

Four new Steam features focused on the living room

 

• In-home Streaming - You can play all your Windows and Mac games on your SteamOS machine, too. Just turn on your existing computer and run Steam as you always have - then your SteamOS machine can stream those games over your home network straight to your TV!

 

• Music, TV, Movies - We’re working with many of the media services you know and love. Soon we will begin bringing them online, allowing you to access your favorite music and video with Steam and SteamOS.

 

• Family Sharing - In the past, sharing Steam games with your family members was hard. Now you can share the games you love with the people you love. Family Sharing allows you to take turns playing one another’s games while earning your own Steam achievements and saving your individual game progress to the Steam cloud.

 

• Family Options - The living-room is family territory. That’s great, but you don’t want to see your parents’ games in your library. Soon, families will have more control over what titles get seen by whom, and more features to allow everyone in the house to get the most out of their Steam libraries.

 

 

Downloadable soon. Free forever!

 

SteamOS will be available soon as a free download for users and as a freely licensable operating system for manufacturers. Stay tuned in the coming days for more information.

Great news everyone as Valve’s SteamOS has just been released. The client is 960MB in size and can be downloaded from here (torrent link here). According to Valve, SteamOS is a fork (derivative) of Debian GNU/Linux. The first version (SteamOS 1.0) is called ‘alchemist’ and it is based on the Debian ‘wheezy’ (stable 7.1) distribution.

The major changes made in SteamOS are:

-Backported eglibc 2.17 from Debian testing

-Added various third-party drivers and updated graphics stack (Intel and AMD graphics support still being worked on)

-Updated kernel tracking the 3.10 longterm branch (currently 3.10.11)

-Custom graphics compositor designed to provide a seamless transition between Steam, its games and the SteamOS system overlay

-Configured to auto-update from the Valve SteamOS repositories

And here are the system requirements for SteamOS:

-Intel or AMD 64-bit capable processor

-4GB or more memory

-500GB or larger disk

-NVIDIA graphics card (AMD and Intel graphics support coming soon)

-UEFI boot support

-USB port for installation

SteamOS is designed to run Steam and Steam games. It also provides a desktop mode which can run regular Linux applications. SteamOS makes use of the standard APT package manager for software updates; you can add third-party sources to your subscribed repositories to gain access to more applications. SteamOS currently provides a limited set of packages, but many Debian wheezy packages work fine on SteamOS.

Here is how you can install SteamOS:

First method:

The easiest method is an image-based install using CloneZilla. You will need to create a SteamOS System Restore USB stick to perform this install. The image provided here requires at least a 1TB disk.

- Format a 4GB or larger USB stick with the FAT32 filesystem. Use “SYSRESTORE” as the partition name

- Unzip the contents of SYSRESTORE.zip to this USB stick to create the System

- Restore USB stick

- Put the System Restore 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”

- Select “Restore Entire Disk” from the GRUB menu.

- System Restore will proceed automatically. When it is complete it will reboot into your freshly re-imaged SteamOS

Second Method:

The second method is based on the Debian Installer. It requires multiple configuration steps:

- Unzip the SteamOSInstaller.zip file to a blank, FAT32-formatted USB stick.

- 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”

- Pick “Automated Install” from the next menu.

- The rest of the installation is unattended and will repartition the drive and install SteamOS.

- After installation is complete, log onto the resulting system (using the Gnome session) with the predefined “steam” account. The password is “steam”. Run steam, accept the EULA, and let it bootstrap. Logoff the steam account

- Log on with the “desktop” account. The password is “desktop”

- From a terminal window, run ~/post_logon.sh. This will prompt for a password – enter “desktop”. This script will perform the post-install customizations, delete itself, then reboot into the recovery partition capture utility.

- Confirm “y” to continue and the recovery partition will be created. When it is finished, reboot into your freshly installed SteamOS
