If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.

The current Arch-based immutable SteamOS distro is and has been publicly available for years.
Like the wiki says:
So OK sure, but you can literally only use it on the Steam Deck which already comes with it pre-installed.
I clarified my previous comment.
Yes, as I said in my initial comment, there is no general purpose release.
It’s not true that you can “literally only use it on Steam Deck” either, lots of people have already demonstrated it working fine on a wide variety of devices. It’s just not intended for that purpose.
