Tucked into their FAQ about the Steam Machine release was a mention about making your own Steam Machine by installing steamOS to a computer you already have. AMD only for now.

      What’s been janky about it? I have it installed on a custom build since like February, never had any hiccups, besides the same rare issues on my steam deck (some occasional sound issues when switching between desktop and game mode, recently now solved I think). It’s otherwise been a flawless experience. Config is pure AMD : 5800X + 7600 XT 16GB with 16GB RAM. I was just hoping to get a steam controller but that proved harder than expected :(

      I see, and yes, you needed some technical savvyness (is that a word?) to do this on your own before
