Having SteamOS as main OS is just not viable for the vast majority of PC users.

Make it really easy to install and dual boot with (so people can have windows/linux + steamOS).

Gamle everything on Vulkan (the opengl version of mantle).

 

*invest in makeing sure vulkan is supported by the most popular game engine designers.

So that games can be ported to a vulkan version easily.

Lol. Most gamers can't even build their own pc, they will certainly not tamper with dual boot. Also dual boot is very inconvenient if you want to switch between games and your windows applications. It's just not viable. They would have more success with a Steam branded Windows.

Vulcan is not different enough from DX12 and both are useless for most gamers anyway because only a handful use potato CPUs. The performance argument is irrelevant anyway because most people just don't care. Especially not as much as to change their OS.
