I think StreamOS has been around longer than the Steam deck, actually; but I’m sure it’s been tailored somewhat for the hardware.
Comment on Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.

SteamOS has so many deck and handheld specific features that it’s not really a good OS for desktop hardware. HoloISO is something you can install, though, as long as you don’t have a Nvidia card, which is just SteamOS packaged in a way that let’s it run on other hardware

SteamOS was scrapped and rewritten. SteamOS 2 into 3 aren’t related at all.
