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.

A powerful new category of living-room hardware is on the horizon.

 Choose the model right for you in 2014.

Finally, a multiple choice answer

Entertainment is not a one-size-fits-all world. We want you to be able to choose the hardware that makes sense for you, so we are working with multiple partners to bring a variety of Steam gaming machines to market during 2014, all of them running SteamOS.

A new way to play your entire Steam library from the sofa.
 Join the Steam hardware beta and help us shape a new generation of gaming.
A different kind of gamepad

We set out with a singular goal: bring the Steam experience, in its entirety, into the living-room. We knew how to build the user interface, we knew how to build a machine, and even an operating system. But that still left input — our biggest missing link. We realized early on that our goals required a new kind of input technology — one that could bridge the gap from the desk to the living room without compromises. So we spent a year experimenting with new approaches to input and we now believe we’ve arrived at something worth sharing and testing with you.

That's clearly a butt.

Steambox or custom Linux distro pretty much confirmed at this point, they started hinting at this at a Linux event a little while ago.  Hopefully this leads a huge push for Linux games.

Steambox or custom Linux distro

Weren't they going to essentially do both at the same time? Steambox running a custom Linux distro.

Chances of announcing Half Life 3 along with steam box to boost their attention seeing as there's been a bit of a negative reaction to it so far?

Good job.
Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Didn't the Piston have its hat in the ring on that?

If they really make a game console, they better make it good with plenty of exclusives and games.

Did anyone catch that article where Gabe said that Linux is the future of gaming?

if all its good for is games, then id rather have my pc and a ps4.

Did anyone catch that article where Gabe said that Linux is the future of gaming?

From what I remember he said that future Windows Operating systems and consoles would turn to a closed model and praised Linux for it's openness and ease of mobility. Nothing wrong with that, in this day in age if you are a modder, companies treat you like you are a hacker. It's like you don't even own your property anymore.

and for a low fee, you can MAKE google crawler update something or add something instantly.

But really though, you can send a message to the other side in the world in less than a second, that's how crawlers go through such a vast amount of the web in such a short amount of time.
