What ever happened to SteamOS?

It's still going strong! https://store.steampowered.com/steamos

Personally, I just like to install Debian or Ubuntu as the OS, and then install the Steam launcher:

I think the outcomes are pretty similar, for an average user. But I find it a bit easier to search for help about other things I want to do with Debian/Ubuntu.

I say Debian/Ubuntu a bunch of times here because, while I like Debian a bit better, there's tons of help articles out there for Ubuntu, and 99% of them work perfectly on Debian.
