wayland desktop

The wayland desktop tag covers discussion of Wayland-based desktop improvements in SteamOS 3.8 as Valve explores gaming beyond the Steam Deck. Current coverage focuses on SteamOS expanding toward compatible desktop hardware, early Steam Machine support, and the prospects for a broader living-room and PC platform. Nvidia support is also part of the discussion, with full support not expected this year. The source material places these developments in context: Windows 11 remains overwhelmingly dominant among Steam gamers, so the tag reflects an emerging desktop-gaming direction rather than a completed shift away from Windows.
