I just want the SteamOS on Desktop, finally!
Why though? What's wrong with the myriad of other options that do basically the same thing?
I feel like Valve isn't really interested in releasing it as a general desktop os. As they don't want to support it outside some pre-configured devices. If so, I think you can wait a long time.
Isn't that what BigScreen mode essentially is? Never actually seen the actual OS.
BigScreen mode even lets you sleep the computer from within it, and when you turn it back on, you're already in it.
Big picture doesnt have the consistent expectation of everything working right when you update your everything else. Apples to oranges.
