Description:
SteamOS 3 has leaked, leading to further revelations of the OS being
installed on other portables aside from the Steam Deck.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We already know that Steams Big Picture mode, the UI that gives you a console-like (and controller-friendly) experience on the big screen, is due
to be replaced by Steam Decks interface , and weve just caught sight of how that revamped UI will look on the desktop (following the release of Steam
Deck dev kits as revealed earlier this week ).

Some grabs were shared by Pavel Djundik, the founder of SteamDB (who was involved in the early leaks around the Steam Deck ), showing the interface running on a Windows PC, and looking pretty much like you might expect in other words, much the same as the UI on the handheld itself.

On Twitter, Djundik further notes that an image of SteamOS 3 has leaked, with some folks already installing it on other portables aside from the Steam Deck (although no hardware is actually named), and that we should bear in mind
that what we see here isnt the finished interface, as work is still ongoing but at this point, its likely to be pretty close to what we can expect at the launch of the Steam Deck . Best PC games of 2021 Best Linux distros for

Of course, weve already seen the SteamOS 3 interface in Valves previously released press shots anyway, so there are no big revelations here though its obviously interesting to see how the Big Picture replacement is shaping up. With Big Picture mode now being seriously out of date in fact it hasnt been updated since 2015, so its beyond old at this point a refresh is obviously most welcome, even if it has been a very long time coming.

Regrading the leak of SteamOS 3 which is apparently floating around online somewhere, likely in dubious corners of the net, those who have come across
it would do well to exercise a great deal of caution. Obviously its not something that you should be contemplating downloading anyway, not just from
a legal standpoint, but also when you consider that it could be loaded with malware or other nastiness (there may well be fake copies of it out there before long, too). Check out the best gaming PCs currently out there
