Valve Opens SteamOS 3.8.10 to Custom PCs as Nvidia Support Remains in Progress

Summary
SteamOS 3.8.10 now lets users build their own Steam Machine on desktop PCs, giving buyers an alternative to Valve’s reservation-based hardware.
The release adds improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms, expanding beyond the AMD-heavy setups that previously made SteamOS on custom hardware difficult.
Nvidia support is still not ready: Valve says a growing team is working closely with Nvidia on drivers, but that compatibility may not arrive this year.
Current installation is aimed at a fresh, TV-connected single-drive PC and wipes the disk, with no easy dual-boot wizard yet; Valve says a smoother desktop coexistence setup is a future goal.
