    No it's not

    Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device?
    We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.

      Just because it's not officially supported does not mean it's released.

      And it was released in 2013. This post title doesn't make much sense.

        Lack of official support for a lot of devices does not make it "not released".

        I can get it right now and install it on an AMD 'puter. I expect to manually install some drivers at least to get it fully working, but since the base OS is Arch, that's pretty explored territory.

          They say that any AMD powered handheld should work. This is not a contradiction to your post:

          Currently, expanded support includes devices with AMD hardware and an NVME drive, targeted toward handheld devices. Please note, support for all devices that is not officially 'Powered by SteamOS' is not final (currently anything that is not a Steam Deck or Legion Go S)

            It's released in the sense that they have a recovery image to reinstall it on officially supported devices, it isn't the desktop SteamOS release people are saying it is. You still shouldn't use it as a normal distro

                Steam OS 3 has basically no ties its processors which makes this release meaningful

                  Exactly. Steam OS 1-2 were Debian based. SteamOS 3 is Arch based. That's a massive difference, and AFAIK there's no upgrade path to SteamOS 3.
