Description

The wiki page has a section Alternate community versions of SteamOS:

On the Getting Started wiki page, you will find information regarding community efforts to improve SteamOS and modify SteamOS. Two notable efforts are Stephenson's Rocket and VaporOS. These efforts are not officially tied to, or supported by Valve. However, changes and improvements from these efforts sometimes may make it into the official release. Efforts to also supplement SteamOS functions and software installations can also be found via GitHub projects such as SteamOS-Tools.

The links for Stephenson's Rocket and VaporOS go to spam pages. It is likely that the owners stopped renewing their domains and they are now owned by others. This section should be updated to remove these links.
