SteamOS is a Debian-based Linux operating system in development by Valve Corporation designed to be the primary operating system for the Steam Machine game consoles. It was initially released on December 13, 2013, alongside the start of end-user beta testing of Steam Machines. == Features == SteamOS is designed primarily for playing video games in the living room. Users are able to stream games from their Windows, Mac or Linux computers to one running SteamOS, and it incorporates the same family sharing and restrictions as Steam on the desktop. Valve claims that it has "achieved significant performance increases in graphics processing" through SteamOS. The operating system is open source, allowing users to build on or adapt the source code, though the actual Steam client is closed. Since SteamOS is solely for playing games in the living room, it does not have many built-in functions beyond web browsing and playing games; for example, there is no file manager or image viewer installed by default. Users can, however, access the available GNOME desktop environment and perform tasks like installing other software. Though the OS does not, in its current form, support streaming services, Valve is in talks with streaming companies such as Spotify and Netflix to bring their features to SteamOS., However Steam does have full length films from indie movie makers available from their store. The OS natively supports Nvidia, Intel, and AMD graphics processors. Valve stated has added support for movies, television, and music functionality to SteamOS, however the video content is only from Steam's store which has a small amount of films, while music playback only supports local music collections. In October 2015, an update allowed Netflix and other DRM protected content to function in the native built-in browser. The current system hardware requirements for default SteamOS installations include: * Intel or AMD 64-bit capable processor * 4 GB (or more) RAM * 200 GB or larger hard disk * NVIDIA (post-Fermi graphics cards), Intel, or AMD graphics card (Radeon 8500 or newer) * USB port for installation * UEFI boot support A custom installer method is also available, which can require additional configuration steps. This method allows for smaller hard disk sizes. There is also an ISO image installer that supports legacy BIOS motherboard. The installers can be sourced through Valve's repository. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SteamOS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
