SteamOS Beta, officially released for download, it's free!

The first Steam OS beta, a Linux-based OS, has just been released after it was unveiled last September 2013. Valve is also advising that only Expert Linux Hackers may attempt the installation.

It has also a desktop mode for those who are worried about the functionality of having an operating system's use outside of gaming.

Here's the official system requirements:

• 64-bit processor
• 4GB or more of memory
• 500GB disk
• NVIDIA graphics card (AMD and Intel coming soon)
• UEFI boot support

There are two ways to install SteamOS. 

•  One method will create a “SteamOS System Restore USB stick” that will restore SteamOS from the USB drive to your testing device. 

• The second method uses a Debian installer which requires a bit more manual work to setup. Both methods will erase everything on your device, Valve caution.
