I'm surprised they didn't really try to make Steam OS a real distro for regular PCs, but at the same time there's no real money to be made...

They tried that first, it didn't go so well.

Yeah, that's why I said they didn't really tried, the distro isn't even distributed anymore

Honestly it would probably be worth it as a flagship project to keep their staff engineers excited about something.

I know they earn piles and piles of money, but some people just quit when they've got enough cash, so you need an other sort of carrot.
