Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
SteamOS and Prototype Steam Machines Coming December 13
SteamOS and Prototype Steam Machines Coming December 13
This Friday, December 13, Valve will begin shipping prototype units of the Steam Machine to 300 lucky people. Those selected will be notified around 5PM (EST) today that they will soon receive a prototype machine for testing purposes. They will also be awarded a special badge on their Steam Community profile.
In addition to this shipment of the prototype machines, Valve will release SteamOS to the world on Friday. It can be downloaded by anybody but only those well versed in Linux may want to give it a go until later in 2014. Valve promises to release additional details on this "soon."
Valve also regrets to say that while they originally planned to release the prototypes to the world, regulatory hurdles forced them to limit it to the U.S. only.

I'm hoping I fit in the "well versed" group. Since games will likely run faater in SteamOS, I'm excited to boost that fps from 101 all the way up to 101 in cs 1.6! Lol. On a more serious note, I really want to see how nice it will run and hope to some day stream from my downstairs/basement/mancave gaming PC up to the living room TV.

SteamOS is about to become more readily accessible.
The first official non-Steam Deck device to support Valve's SteamOS is the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go S. The Lenovo Legion Go S is the first handheld device that is officially licensed to ship with SteamOS. It is expected to be priced at $499 and will start shipping around May 2025. A more definitive release date is not yet known.

Ars Technica recently put SteamOS through its paces and found that Valve's new operating system performs "significantly worse" than Windows when it comes to playing games. That seems like a pretty big issue since the thing you're going to be doing the most on SteamOS is playing games. While SteamOS is currently the new kid in town, it still doesn't mean it shouldn't be compared to the most widely used operating system in use by a vast majority of Steam users.
Ars found that the performance gap between...
