Valve's SteamOS has increased Linux's share of Steam-compatible PCs from under 1 percent to over 5 percent since 2021, but the company's hardware expansion plans, including the Steam Machine, have been indefinitely delayed due to soaring costs for memory and storage chips diverted to artificial intelligence manufacturing. The supply crisis has also made the Steam Deck largely unpurchaseable and given Microsoft valuable time to respond to SteamOS's growing threat to Windows dominance in PC gaming.
