Steam OS is Valve's attempt to bring Linux to the gaming community, right?
First of all they have to establish a meaningful library on Steam OS which is impossible to do with games relying on DirectX so only OpenGL would work here. Thus devs would have to make games that use OpenGL as rendering back-end and for Steam OS to be successful make it the only back-end.
-> I don't see this happening soon if ever.

There are already more games for Linux than Mac though

Edit : Checked, mb. About 75% as much, still much more than 2-3 years ago.

And how did this help to get SteamOS to get any meaning in the business?
