Calm down.

Isn't Steam OS running on Linux, though? Is that an OS?

For the last time, NO! Steam OS is BASED on linux ... 

It is it's own OS much like windows. 

If you badly so want to play these precious third party games I suggest you stick with the HD twins. (This is your only and final option despite the fact that you'll likely ignore this recommendation as steam machines will NOT get worthwhile games. Just you wait and see how that thing will turn out and you'll be thankful about it later on ...) 

Even Nintendo fans themselves like rol find the damn thing repulsive. 


Calm. Down.

I already said I'll wait and see. I'm not getting the PS4/XBO. They are not an option. There is no other option. It's get it or don't. I don't "so badly want to play these precious third party games." I have a passing intrest in playing these third party games if the stars line up.

What is linux if it isn't an OS? Why can't Steam OS be "based" on Windows instead? (Don't have an anurism. Just answer the question or don't.)

Linux is an operating system....

It is owned by no one and is opensource so a company can take it and make it into anything they want. You use Linux every day of your life and do not even know it ;)

Steam OS can not be based on Windows because Microsoft owns Windows not Steam and MS would NEVER allow them to. You should just stick to the Wii U because SteamMachines are not a fit for you....
