Steam os

[RageMastaX]

I've been trying to install steam OS on my gaming computer but it's saying that there's no compatible. Ethernet adapter I don't know why this is happening. It worked before I have a b550f gaming motherboard

Why not wait for the official SteamOS 3 to be released?

The Standard SteamOS from Dell? That thing goes on only 1 type of computer, the Steam Machine directly from dell, the 2nd generation goes to the Alienware Alpha, as HotSouce said, wait for the 3rd one which should be out when their dont testing the new Big Picture I guess

SteamOS1 is not from Dell. SteamOS 2 is not from Alienware.

Sir I literally have an Alienware Alpha sitting in my closet with the SteamOS on it and the papers saying how to reinstall the Hivemind system to get it to function, I literally know what it is, I will also further note that its utter trash in every single form because its a mesh of garbage Dell halfbaked crapouts that were abandoned in the first year...

SO HUGE EDIT
I went to look up the Alpha I have, Hot is right, I'm wrong, while the Alpha can use the SteamOS which was in Beta at that time, it was never pushed through, meaning that the Steam OS was not in its first gen before Dell dumped apparently the Alpha line, great to know, thank you Alienware fandom.

(No offence at you Hot, I accept I'm wrong!)

Mine is a b550f gaming motherboard. I don't know why it's not compatible via ethernet. I'm so irritated

[RageMastaX]

I'm trying to build my own DIY system

SteamOS 1 & 2 are unsupported legacy, SteamOS 3 not officially out yet. Try HoloISO.

What a load of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ , STEAMOS 1 and 2 where compatible and installable on any computers with any brand as long as it met the minimum pc requirements and that wasn't dell or Alienware only , also there where never any "special" version released for Alienware or dell pc of STEAMOS.

I followed and installed STEAMOS 1 and 2 on my desktop pc quid core intel + GeForce card , worked like a charm , later on a i5 , and not a single dell or Alienware component in the system. Also statement that you need AMD GPU is total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ , if you have a good GeForce card you can have it run like a charm in Linux and STEAMOS , even STEAMOS 3 (even holoiso supports GeForce today and i am sure steamos 3 will also )

I'm impressed with your utter lack of ability to read before posting sir, if you perhaps read more you would notice I corrected myself, but I'll you my stamp of approval in "No thinking quality of approval rage posting"

Steam OS last I heard was basically a custom version of Linux they setup. That being said I think you'd do better just trying out a distro on your own. Assuming this gaming system is something you don't have anything on already and don't care about being down or having problems I'd recommend something like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or some other first time distribution to mess around with.

After upgrading my Windows system a while back I used my old one as a test bed for trying out Linux and setting up Steam. Both at the time were Intel/Nvida so I worked out a lot of problems on the older gaming rig before switching over the new one. Last upgrade I did this year was all AMD. That went a lot smother then my Intel/Nvidia setups did. Nvidia has this extra driver that gets installed separately. AMD provides support directly in the operating system so as my OS kernel updates I get new driver updates without installing anything extra.

Ryzen 5700g/RX6700 XT/64 gigs of ram and things run smooth for both native Linux games as well as Proton windows games that are supported. Running Linux Mint myself. Minecraft runs really well with the .DEB install for an example of non Steam game loading. Steam Proton also picked up my VCC (Virtual Color Computer) emulator which runs old games Radio Shack used to sell for their CoCo systems back in the 80's and early 90's. Also I get to program on the emulator directly and create my own program/game files for it with other tools.

So yeah don't just limit yourself to SteamOS. There are other choices out there that may install/setup quicker while giving you more bang for your non-Windows time investment bucks.
