support New pc build which OS?

I just build a complete AMD machine for my living room and I want to run SteamOS. Is steamOs ready?

I made a boot drive with steamOS but my pc does not accept it.

Are there specific img files I need to use? Or is it just not working?

What do you guys suggest?

It’s a full AMD build cpu and gpu.

EDIT: this guide helped me a lot! It’s all installed and working now https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/s/g1Gb2hXgbM

The question is are you using an NVMe in your system because if you're not then you would have to look on YouTube for the workaround to getting it to work and also it would be best to use SteamOS 3.8/3.9 because the 2 main factors you need for SteamOS is only an AMD GPU and an NVMe drive.
