“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

I like Windows. I like AI. But this like is based on me having ownership over them. Microsoft is what has convinced me to move to Linux when an official SteamOS Desktop is released.

Or you can just as easily install a Linux distro, because that's all steamOS is but slightly game-ified. If anything you'd probably have a better desktop experience with a distro built with that in mind.

And if you want a SteamOS-like experience, check out Bazzite and Nobara, they're designed around gaming.

But pretty much any Linux distro can have a similar experience without much effort.

Valve could easily enter the OS space. They have hardware and a dedicated user-base. They've built some good will with the Linux community. They're already doing the work to make other stuff work well with Linux. I'm not always a fan of walking too close to the corporate edge with paid software and DRM and proprietary blobs and whatever, but at this point we have to figure out how to get everyone out of Windows, even 100 year old Grandma Geraldine who plays bejeweled on Facebook all day. I probably won't run SteamOS as a primary OS, but if I could dual boot it instead of Win10 on my gaming PC that would lesson the pain of MS's betrayal and the loss of some Windows-only games a little bit.
