New SteamOS beta hints at an imminent general install with ROG Ally support added | PC Gamer

Has anyone been using the new game recording feature in the current beta? Wondering if it's any good.

It's not a Steam Deck exclusive feature, but the early beta was lackluster. It's been improved since then, but haven't tested it since the early days.

I've used it plenty on desktop and it's brilliant. Have it set to record the last 6 hours of gameplay with no issues at all.
 
I hope this news leads to an official release of SteamOS for all hand held PCs, laptops, and desktops. Sure you can try it now, or go the unofficial route, but right now the official features of SteamOS are being handicapped by tailoring the experience more towards the Steam Deck only, and AMD GPU's. Once Valve releases a version of SteamOS that supports a full desktop experience and Nvidia GPU's then goodbye Windows for my main OS.

My plan is to dual boot on desktop with Linux being my main, but having a Windows install as a backup plan. Only thing holding me back is Nvidia drivers for Linux. Someone told me a few weeks ago that there was progress coming on that front but I haven't heard much since.

It hasn't been a long time since the former lead maintainer of Nouveau got hired by Nvidia. The 555 beta driver brought explicit sync support for Nvidia a mere 3 months ago.

It will, the question is when. Lawrence Yang has on record stated that SteamOS will come to handheld PCs first before being available for desktops.

An officlal SteamOS release with a Steam Controller 2 that is essentially the Steam Deck without the screen would be beautiful.

Be cool if Valve releases a Strix Halo mini-PC with SteamOS pre-installed and the Steam Controller 2 bundled. It'll be expensive, like north of $1000 expensive, but there may be some people who are willing to buy it.
