Plenty of the Linux YouTubers have been rolling their eyes when people treat SteamOS as an option, so it'll be interesting to watch their opinions 180 (or not).

I roll my eyes when I see people saying they'll leave Windows when they can run SteamOS, considering there are other distros that are just as good or better. But the brand name recognition will definitely bring some people.

I had assumed that Steam wouldn't do this, partly because they wouldn't want to deal with supporting Linux beginners, but they certainly have the resources to do so if they are willing to.

I don’t know if them releasing it for a bigger audience necessarily means they’ll support it. Might very well be that they’ll rely on the community for that.
