Z:gnu-www-ja-common-distros--47a36b-SteamOS, a version of GNU/Linu/en

SteamOS, a version of GNU/Linux to be distributed by Valve, is not actually released for download yet. At present, we can say that it is very unlikely to be an operating system which respects user freedom, because it is meant to work closely with the Steam service. Steam uses Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) to impose restrictions on the software it distributes. SteamOS will have to contain the proprietary software necessary to enforce these restrictions. It will also be designed to promote and integrate with the Steam store, which promotes a large amount of proprietary software.
