00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,640
there's so many rumors swirling around valve lately a new steam controller in

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:12,559
mass production steam link on Raspberry Pi 5 new branding guidelines suggesting

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,880
powered by Steam OS consoles is that for handhelds like this one from Lenovo or

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:22,000
is it for the return of steam machine game consoles either way it really looks

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:27,880
like valve is ramping up to make a serious challenge to Microsoft's desktop

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,960
dominance and I sure hope they do some

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:35,239
of you probably remember that valves teos started as a response to the threat

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,719
of Microsoft creating a Walled Garden with Windows 8 a threat that not only

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,320
hasn't gone away but might be even greater than ever with the consolidation

10
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:50,039
of the Xbox and Windows stores there's only one small problem as good as Steam

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:54,760
OS is delivering a conso like gaming experience for thousands of PC games

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:59,519
even ones that were only ever intended to run on Windows valve still hasn't

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:06,119
made a version that's designed for me to put on my custom PC or have they as it

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,680
turns out Val has been working away in the background preparing Ste OS for its

15
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:13,720
promised official wide release so I

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,000
think now is as good a time as any to see what the experience is like if you

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,840
download Steam OS and throw it on your PC it's also a good time to learn about

18
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:27,520
our sponsor Amazon Luna whether you're on the go or on the couch you're covered

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,520
by the Amazon Luna cloud gaming service use our Link in the description to start

20
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:34,479
streaming games directly to your phone TV and

21
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,759
more before you type that comment yes I

22
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:50,840
know I don't need to wait for Steam OS to be a Linux gamer but in spite of what

23
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:56,159
your friendly neighborhood neck beard may claim most Linux dros still involve

24
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,840
a lot of manual faffing about to get things working and if Linux gaming is

25
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:07,200
tricky for me you're little cousin Joey mainstream is going to be screwed that

26
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,280
is why we need steo projects like Hollow

27
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,040
ISO Kera bite and the other one that

28
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:17,080
you're furiously typing in the comments right now are glimpses at a beautiful

29
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,200
penguin powered future that could be but the fact of the matter is that barring

30
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,160
some kind of Earth shaking change when regular people make the great penguin

31
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,640
migration it's going to be on a steam powered train let's see what the setup

32
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,080
process is like now I'm no Joey I at least know what a computer is but I want

33
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:39,720
to play my games and my favorite games include ano 1800 and tape to tape not

34
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,720
GRUB boot entry simulator I want it to be actually easy as we're filming this

35
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:51,319
there are two ways for a non-developer to get Steam OS 3 option one buy a steam

36
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,440
deck easy but you're stuck with a steam deck option two download the Steam deck

37
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,120
recovery image flash that to a USB key and install it on compatible Hardware

38
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Val is committed to making a proper installer before the the full release

39
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,120
but that's the way you do it now less easy and it doesn't help that at the

40
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:12,760
time of filming Googling install Steam OS actually leads you to the build your

41
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:18,200
own steam machine page for the old Debian based Steam OS too from like a

42
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,760
decade ago that's kind of rough for Joey though to valve's credit at least it

43
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,640
links to the page for the steam deck recovery image so I think we can figure

44
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:32,720
it out we used Rufus to image it to a USB drive booted the live image picked

45
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:34,879
this option to reimage our steam deck

46
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,799
then we basked in this glorious wall of fast scrolling text and that's it we've

47
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:46,319
installed Steam OS on our hardware for a total cost of

48
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,840
$0 take that Microsoft and thanks gabin

49
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,400
but does it work well the thing is we won't know until we reboot because

50
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,799
everything that you've seen so far can be done even on unsupported Hardware

51
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:04,000
what do you mean unsupported Linus Linux supports like everything doesn't it

52
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:05,879
well yes but also no Linux is an

53
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,319
umbrella term that we use to describe many distinct Computing experiences and

54
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,480
it's up to the maintainer of the Linux distribution to decide what it does and

55
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:19,799
doesn't do out of the box and as you'd imagine the steam deck recovery image is

56
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:24,960
developed for well the steam deck first and foremost which results in some key

57
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:32,720
hardware requirements the big 2 being a discreet AMD GPU and an NVMe boot drive

58
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,680
to install all to also this is fun

59
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:39,080
during the setup process there is not any kind of prompt for which drive or

60
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,919
which partition you'd like to install to it just assumes that you want to totally

61
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,440
overwrite the drive of your steam deck so consider yourself warned while I'm

62
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,880
throwing out warnings there's also limited firmware included support for

63
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Marvel network cards for example is mostly missing and there are some

64
00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:00,800
special requirements around sleep modes the tldr though is basically use the

65
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:04,880
hardware that you can find that is most similar to a steam deck if you want to

66
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:10,080
try this for yourself right now for our test system then we went with an AMD

67
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:12,240
ryzen 5 500g on an Asus Prime b550 ma

68
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:18,039
motherboard with 16 gigs of ddr4 memory from gskill that's a big steam Tech now

69
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:24,199
we did notice some mentions of NVIDIA in recent Steam OS patch notes so we did

70
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,120
try installing with an RTX 3060 GPU but

71
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:30,120
while we were able to boot the USB drive and we were able to clone the image to

72
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,280
the NVMe drive we were not able to continue with the setup process and

73
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:38,000
instead got this garbled screen our mission today does not include

74
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,919
troubleshooting drivers or the Linux boot process I don't care if you think

75
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,080
it's easy Joey doesn't so we listened to

76
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,160
valve and switched back to a Radeon RX 7600 where we had a much better time

77
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,440
getting through the actually refreshingly simple setup pick a

78
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:59,639
language pick a time zone pick a network and let it do its thing now I don't know

79
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,840
why I get a battery low warning on a desktop but in the grand scheme of

80
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:08,039
things that's a pretty small issue and a few minutes later we can sign in either

81
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,319
with our username and password or via the Steam mobile app after a quick

82
00:06:10,039 --> 00:06:17,039
scroll and click We're Off to the Races in game mode now you've probably all

83
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:22,240
seen the steam deck interface at this point cosmetically it's basically

84
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,960
desktop big picture but valve tries to squeeze out a little bit of extra

85
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,360
horsepower by running it on the lighter weight gamescope micro compositor

86
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,520
instead of in the full top environment that we'll look at in just a moment the

87
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:38,440
UI is okay with a keyboard and mouse but

88
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,000
it's really designed to be navigated with a controller from the moment you

89
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,720
boot to the moment you finish your last one more round and then head to bed

90
00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:50,880
let's give it a shot oh you got one of my favorite games on here let's go no

91
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:56,639
way is this the new horory steam controller yep definitely a controller

92
00:06:53,599 --> 00:06:59,800
ooh these not even analog

93
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:02,759
triggers oh what a terrible shot to them

94
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:06,960
I know I know it sucked boom take that boom take that oh no I think the most

95
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:10,680
remarkable thing about this gaming experience is that there is absolutely

96
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:16,080
nothing remarkable about it this is exactly what it's like to play this game

97
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:17,720
on Windows complete chaos okay we got 10

98
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:23,160
seconds one last Rush here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go oh I

99
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,759
barely even get a shot away you know what you call it barely I call it a shot

100
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:31,560
where's your shot that's what I thought oh this controller feels really cheap

101
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,759
can I switch over to a different one I can find something yeah it's probably

102
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,080
the controller Jordan it's got to be the it's a controller issue is the dongle in

103
00:07:36,599 --> 00:07:42,759
there you have a cable right in front of you you could probably use I mean that's an option I guess oh it's an Xbox

104
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,080
controller I mean sure yeah that should work okay here we go here we go

105
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:53,159
theoretically this should just flawlessly work cuz you know Steam OS

106
00:07:48,919 --> 00:07:55,360
let's go oh there we

107
00:07:53,159 --> 00:08:03,159
go yeah no that makes sense that makes sense yep all good here we go just shoot

108
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:05,039
thank you finally it's such a seamless

109
00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:09,720
experience it's kind of mindblowing to me like I know Steam OS has been out for

110
00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:15,960
years now at this point but the fact that this just works so flawlessly so

111
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,360
effortlessly is mindblowing to me okay

112
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:23,039
break up pass here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go come on

113
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,360
someone put the [ __ ] in the neck this is awful well Steam OS won't make you a

114
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,879
better gamer that's for sure all right let's play something else installed what

115
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:34,599
do we got hey how about some uh vampire

116
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,599
survivors play some casual

117
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:40,519
games oh balls oh balls I'm taking

118
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:47,760
damage I'm taking damage from bats what am I the Joker nothing buddy oh yeah

119
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,920
here we go got that King Bible oh let's

120
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:55,560
go here's my king Bible boom boom boom take that zombies you got nothing oh my

121
00:08:53,120 --> 00:09:00,519
goodness what in the Sam heck is going on here get out of here you lousy bats

122
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,200
man I forgot how hard it is when you don't have all the upgrades and stuff

123
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:08,680
and all the better characters and everything it's freaking hard I need

124
00:09:05,959 --> 00:09:12,920
upgrades I can't get my Jewels I need them man I got to set this up in my

125
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,600
living room like I have a Windows install that has Steam on it and is

126
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,360
configured to launch steam in Big Picture Mode every time I turn it on but

127
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:24,839
I never bother with it because it's Windows and it's just like stupid and

128
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:29,399
tedious and Windows update and just like it's not a console like experience

129
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,560
and that's ultimately what you want in the living room you don't want to get up and go find your stupid mouse and

130
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,040
keyboard and like you can use a mouse and keyboard we'll talk a little bit

131
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,640
more about that later but you don't have to you can just be ready to go that's

132
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:47,760
the Steam OS experience and I'm I am loving this what about all the just like

133
00:09:44,839 --> 00:09:51,279
special like steam decky stuff like hardware monitor and stuff like that

134
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,839
like can we do any of that what button that the buttons on that controller

135
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:59,440
actually the buttons on the three do oh sorry wrong controller uh hit Xbox 8 no

136
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,480
no no I'm going back to the I'm going back to the steam controller okay so I

137
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:09,000
got my three dots here it's all there okay that's that's

138
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:13,480
kind of cool if you don't have a steam controller yeah Xbox button and a we'll

139
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:19,920
bring that up okay it's Xbox button and a yeah all

140
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,240
right hey cool well let's disable the

141
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,640
frame limit what do we have any of that for performance overlay level oh cool so

142
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,800
that's just that like 60 FPS counter that we've got the normal counter thing you would get in Steam deck oh we can

143
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:34,640
enable h HDR I wonder if it's going to work though we can try it and do

144
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:39,560
maternal let's try it and do maternal why does it not look that

145
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:42,680
HDR it's just oh cuz the game's not in

146
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:46,120
HDR okay all right well that'll help

147
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:49,920
cool let's go with

148
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,160
ultra and no racing that's probably a

149
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:56,079
better bet Vala has done some work on getting HDR to work in Linux with the

150
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:01,839
steam Deco Leed what I don't know is how well it's going to work on a TV this TV

151
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,519
also not the brightest HDR TV so maybe

152
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:09,320
not our our best case scenario for testing in fact honestly it looks not

153
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:13,200
great I do wonder how much of it is the TV though but everything thinks it's HDR

154
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,600
maybe this is one area where there's a little bit of room for improvement here

155
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:21,839
hey the game's running great though getting 163 FPS and HDR is something

156
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:26,959
where the Xbox and the PlayStation are going to give you a just works

157
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:30,560
experience then again like I said before I don't know how much of the problem is

158
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:34,600
just the fact that this TV is not very good uh I don't know how to play this

159
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:40,480
game with a controller really you could always keyboard and mouse it but you oh

160
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,079
right what am I even doing right now oh

161
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:47,399
let's go all of a sudden you got good right

162
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:54,000
it's almost like there is a superior control scheme no couldn't

163
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,360
be oh what where'd you go oh no there we

164
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,680
go the bottom line is that for living room gaming most of what I would need is

165
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:04,959
here the the 8bit do controller we tried worked out of the box with its dongle or

166
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:09,040
failing that any modern wired or Bluetooth controller should pick up

167
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:13,279
without too much trouble and I didn't have any issues with networking or sound

168
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:17,600
though your mileage may vary there a little bit like I mentioned before I

169
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:23,320
would say that one glaring problem is that games launch at the steamex native

170
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:25,040
1280x 800 resolution but this can be

171
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:29,720
fixed by manually setting the system resolution in the settings and then

172
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:34,639
Games should pick that up between Pro and Native Linux versions of games there

173
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,480
is a huge library now like Man compared

174
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:42,279
to the last time we did a gaming on Linux video there's an enormous library

175
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,399
of games that just work now and while

176
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:47,839
there have been some regressions notably for online competitive titles where the

177
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:53,160
developers don't want to maintain their anti-che on Linux game compatibility has

178
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:56,760
mostly been growing steadily I think with the right Hardware I'm pretty much

179
00:12:55,079 --> 00:13:03,480
ready to say that building a Steam OS game console for your living room is

180
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:05,160
pretty awesome however I can totally see

181
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:10,639
why valve has held off on saying the same most Gamers demand more than just

182
00:13:08,199 --> 00:13:14,959
my steam game works and there are some essential tools that can't simply be

183
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:21,199
added from inside game mode like Discord and Alternate game stores like goog and

184
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,560
Battlenet and hey this is a PC right

185
00:13:21,199 --> 00:13:28,160
what if I need to get some actual work done how is desktop mode coming along I

186
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:35,079
guess now is a great time to continue using the mouse and keyboard that I've

187
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:37,800
got right here power and switch to

188
00:13:35,079 --> 00:13:42,920
desktop that was quick it looks like pretty much any other Linux desktop

189
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,440
although it isn't quite Ste os3 is what's known as an immutable operating

190
00:13:44,839 --> 00:13:52,759
system if you already know what that means and you have strong feelings about it steo it's probably not meant for you

191
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:57,440
if you don't know what that means the oversimplified tldr is it means you

192
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:02,120
can't screw it up too badly because it locks down critical system components

193
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:05,079
and it will reset itself when you reboot that doesn't mean you can't install

194
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:09,120
software it just means that you're effectively limited to what's available

195
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,720
in their flat pack based discover software Center these flat packs might

196
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,680
not be as efficient as if you installed via a package manager but what it shows

197
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,320
is that valve learned very well from their community's love of hey how do I

198
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:27,360
fix X and Counterstrike press F10 trolling that

199
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:31,920
has taken place over the years they've made Steam OS pretty hard hard to bung

200
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:36,920
up too badly cuz think about it realistically poor Joey would almost

201
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:42,839
certainly fall for the old rmrf asterisk trick at least once now to be clear

202
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:46,920
there are ways outside of their all applications list here to install

203
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:51,759
software we even found this script on GitHub that allows us to install dozens

204
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:55,720
of non- steam stores but for the joy out there here's a standard disclaimer about

205
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,560
running scripts that you find on the internet all willy-nilly I'd recommend

206
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:04,199
that you stick to the the software Center the question is if you do that

207
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:12,199
can you get any real work done here let's see our browsers oh internet there

208
00:15:07,959 --> 00:15:13,639
okay web browsers Li wolf Vivaldi Brave

209
00:15:12,199 --> 00:15:17,720
just the chromium web browser man there's a ton of options here this is

210
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:21,519
great and if you consider how much of it you do in a web browser these days

211
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:25,199
there's a good chance that we can get a lot of what we need to do done uh what

212
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:29,560
about Discord though we mentioned Discord earlier hey there it is four

213
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:33,279
stars boom install Shameless plug for the LTT

214
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:38,680
commuter backpack we've got a lot more information available on it now but in a

215
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:41,360
nutshell great backpack 150 bucks go for

216
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:46,279
it LTT Store.com what else we got here oh dude oh no we've lost them forever

217
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:53,920
space conet pinballs in here here we go here we go here we go here we go let's

218
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:57,000
go B really B come

219
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,639
on come

220
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:06,319
on oh come on on come on come on okay coming back to

221
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:10,319
Discord realistically if you want to be able to use it while you're in game mode

222
00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:14,680
you need to add it as a non- steam app in desktop mode first it's not a big

223
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:18,639
deal but it is the kind of thing that could trip up a less informed user you

224
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:22,720
can also do that with other apps like non- Steam games and browsers a browser

225
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,600
can really come in handy over time in game mode now of course it is worth

226
00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:30,000
noting that since you're not concerned about conserving battery life and

227
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,240
squeezing using every last drop of performance out of mobile Hardware you

228
00:16:31,959 --> 00:16:39,279
don't actually need to go back to Game Mode at all steam works just fine here

229
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:43,839
on the desktop and as much as I love touchpads and joysticks sometimes a

230
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:47,880
keyboard and mouse is just plain a better way to use a computer with

231
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:53,079
standard peripherals I can happily use my browser and apps just like I would on

232
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:57,000
Windows macOS or any other Linux the slome folder is persistent so you don't

233
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,639
have to worry about losing your files when you reboot it just resets the

234
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:06,160
system files so that the turn it off and turn it back on really does work to fix

235
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:10,199
most things and other than that it pretty much just works like I would

236
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,439
expect a computer to work pretty much we did run into a funny scenario a little

237
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:17,480
while ago we were trying to get an old printer working with generic drivers and

238
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:21,319
I had a brainstorm that went oh man Linux I bet Linux will work well I'll

239
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:26,000
just grab a steam deck that already has Linux on it and yeah that's when I

240
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:30,919
learned that Steam OS does not include support for printers out of the box and

241
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:38,360
you might come across similar gchas over time let's see if they've added it no

242
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:40,200
they have not neat so steis it's pretty

243
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:44,200
great right now but it's clear that there's a bit of work to be done so what

244
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:49,080
about those rumors we were talking about could new Steam Machines be announced

245
00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:51,720
and released at any time absolutely and

246
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:55,240
I think we're due valve has spent years getting Steam OS to the point where it's

247
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,880
at they've made some hard decisions along the way but overall it works great

248
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,919
on the right hard hardware and it keeps getting better and the playable game

249
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:10,280
library is huge now with no signs of slowing down with that said is steam os3

250
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,200
ready to Dethrone Windows not yet

251
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:16,480
there's enough prickly edges that keep it from being a totally smooth

252
00:18:14,159 --> 00:18:20,520
experience and you can make the argument that Windows has a lot of prickly edges

253
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:25,039
too but the difference is that so many more people know how to troubleshoot it

254
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:29,400
so here's what I'd say as on valves to-do list they need a simple installer

255
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:34,880
they need outof thee boox support for a lot more hardware and just one or two

256
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:38,400
more passes of spit and polish also printer support I do believe that

257
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:43,720
they're going to get there though especially if Microsoft decides they want to risk their market share by

258
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:47,400
forcing their store on everyone or if they keep making unreasonable Hardware

259
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:51,200
demands now I think all that's left is to unreasonably demand that you hear

260
00:18:48,919 --> 00:18:56,480
this message from our sponsor Amazon Luna Amazon Luna has free games that's

261
00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:00,640
