I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the next big Linux distributer: Valve.

I had my doubts about how well SteamOS would do, until recently when the Unreal and Cry engines were opened to licensing and both touted SteamOS support as a major current or upcoming feature. People seem to be taking this seriously.



Mark my words, SteamOS will do for the desktop what Android did for mobile.


There is an interesting symmetry there: ChromeOS is taking traditional notebook form factor devices away from Windows. Steam OS might do the same for gaming PCs. With the high price of current-generation consoles, people will increasingly ask "Why not a PC?"


I hope you are right. There are two reasons I still interact with windows: 1- Work 2- Games
