Of course they picked Linux! It's just a matter of time before all the other big game studios realize that.

"SteamOS will be available soon as a free download for users and as a freely licensable operating system for manufacturers. Also said FREE FOREVER"

But for modifying/distributing this OS we need to get permission from STEAM right ?
