Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

SMRTR summary

Valve now officially supports installing SteamOS on custom-built desktop PCs, starting with SteamOS 3.8, which launched recently with better compatibility for Intel and AMD hardware. Previously, running SteamOS on non-Steam Deck hardware was difficult and mostly limited to AMD systems. Nvidia support is still in development, and dual-booting with another OS isn't yet supported, requiring a full drive wipe before installation.
