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.)

Don't beat the bush around and instead be more direct ... <--- That's some advice that you'll need. 

To the question ... 

You just have to keep making this harder on yourself, don't you ? Linux IS an OS. That is a fact so you might want to go deal with it as soon as possible. We already told you why steam OS can't be based on windows and that's because Gabe Newell's idiotic paranoia means that he'll keep being anti windows and as well as the fact that Microsoft won't have anyone fucking around with windows source code. 

You literally just said that the reason Steam OS can't be on Windows was because they are both OS's so it literally can't, which makes no sence if Linux is also an OS. Now you're saying it's just because of a petty grudge, in which I ask again, why can't Gabe just get over himself and do what he's doing with Linux on the platform with more games?

EDIT: Never mind. Rolltide answered me.

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.

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....

How were you able to adequately answer a simple question without having a heart attack in literally one sentense? Thanks. I get it now. Can I ask why you don't think that steam machines are a fit for me? I'm not arguing your sentiments. I'm just trying to pick your brain, since you aren't coming off like an asshole just because I have an unpopular idea of what I want.
