the official launch is supposed to happen this year, around these months. so you just need to wait a few weeks. i think i read somewere it was supposed to happen around the end of this month (april), but for now, the official date is unknown.

but, if you want to check how "steam deck mode" works, you could download Nobara Os HTPC version, which works with nvidia gpus.

Look at bazzite same image for steamdeck and PC

I don't want a third party image. I want a genuine steam iso for steam os3. Valve have been extremely lazy with this.

I have to disagree with you. I don't think Valve has been lazy with SteamOS 3. They've been putting in a ton of work behind the scenes, not just on SteamOS itself, but on Proton, drivers, and making Linux gaming better overall. SteamOS 3 is built specifically for the Steam Deck, and turning it into something that works smoothly on all kinds of different PCs isn’t simple. I think they’re taking their time because they actually care about getting it right, not because they're being lazy.

It's just arch linux and the steam client. What is there to get right. It's just lazy when all they had to do was release the image in iso or .zip format like they did before. What the heck am I supposed to do with the bz2 file that is on the steam os page right now.

I'm expecting them to release it alongside the Lenovo Legion Go S (The SteamOS version).

I probably wasn't lucky because I downloaded it and after a month it started crashing and a lot of my games were not able to play so I had to take it off and download cachyos

Would totally love it, SteamOS to became the only official operating system to be used for gaming PC.

It already works quite well. I'm using it right now: https://i.sstatic.net/wjMNRNjY.png

Only if you have an AMD GPU.
