SteamOS development was only contracted-out by Valve and while many like the notion of it, SteamOS is barely different than building a Linux machine and setting Big Picture Mode to execute on startup.
- throwaway3699 6y agoReally? I thought it was developed in-house. From what I understand much of their company was focused around Linux at the time (Steam, SteamOS, Hardware, Source engine port, L4D2, etc...).
- yepthatsreality 6y agoYes, really.

SteamOS compositor with commits from Valve devs: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamos-compositor/commits/master https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamos-compositor/commits/... I'm sure they also have/had contractors working on it like they do for the other Linux gaming effors but a claim that it was "was only contracted-out by Valve" needs something to back it up.
