Streaming Services on SteamOS
editCurrently the information regarding streaming services is not fully correct. I personally don't know to put this on the page, but some streaming services like Netflix and Youtube work just fine in the Steam browser. I'm not sure about other services.
Abandoned
editThis seems to need an update on its (temporary?) abandonment, and how out of date it is. I'm not familiar with the situation myself. —Darxus (talk) 15:39, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- I found a better article, and edited it. —Darxus (talk) 00:53, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Where in the official repos is Arch Linux?
editWhy do people keep on changing the 3.0 release to Arch Linux when it's nowhere to be found here: https://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/dists/clockwerk/
Because that repository directory listing is 2 years old at least (look at the modification dates in the directory listings), things seems to have changed internally since then. Valve says themselves that the Steam Deck is going to be running on SteamOS 3.0 which is based off of Arch Linux (Official FAQ), and news sites (ZDNet, GamingOnLinux, ShackNews 9To5Linux) say this as well. I don't think it's "nowhere to be found" as you said. ROllerozxa (talk) 08:46, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- Until the team actually provides the repo it's all just words, also it's a bit hard to believe they would risk it with such an unstable distro and why would the official repo already have debian 9 in place? 188.21.103.184 (talk) 09:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- @188.21.103.184: Valve has stated that SteamOS 3 is Arch-based. Multiple reliable sources have repeated this. Why would Valve lie about it? They have a working prototype too so it's unlikely they would change their mind at this point. Saucy[talk – contribs] 11:10, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- @188.21.103.184: Here is a repo: https://repo.steampowered.com/arch/valveaur/. While this is not in the steamos directory, Saucy already mentioned that this directory was not updated since a long time. Arch got endorsed by Valve after Ubuntu wanted to drop 32bit libraries: https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/2957094910196249305. Also rolling-release != unstable. You fell for a common myth. 77.182.25.44 (talk) 16:35, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- This seems to be the new repo: https://steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud/archlinux-mirror/ James (talk) 04:11, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
I'm failing to understand how this infobox works.
editSteamOS has both beta and preview releases, they are on different channels. I'm failing to recognize where should I add a new entry into the infobox for beta release, because there is nothing between "source model" and "marketing target" in the code where the latest releases supposed to be.

Logo
editSo Valve released guidelines for using Steam branding by OEMs. When should we wait for a proper new logo? Ahri Boy (talk) 13:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ah nevermind. I already requested at c:COM:GLI. Ahri Boy (talk) 13:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Branding is not the same as the logo itself, it uses the logo though Masem (t) 14:48, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
