Valve will have its own operating system called SteamOS, which will be utilizing Linux.
The OS will be free and is being designed to enhance users' living room experience. "SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen," Valve writes on their announcement page.
According to Valve, hundreds of games will be coming to the new OS next year, which can all be accessed through Steam's catalog via something called "in home streaming".
As advertised, the SteamOS will provide "significant performance increases in graphic processing" as well as improvements to "audio performance and reductions in input latency at the operating system level".
SteamOS will allow users to stream their Steam experiences onto their TV. The system will also venture into bringing music, TV, and movies to Steam. Family oriented options will also be featured, which will allow parents to both share and restrict content.
