Description
I think the current method of installing SteamOS, specifically retrieving the image in the first place, is not exactly user friendly and the user experience could be significantly improved.
Make SteamOS available on Steam and have it presented as a user friendly application ready to flash a usb drive.
Bonus there could be an alternate option to try it live through virtualization.
Bonus No. 2 option to install it right then and there alongside the existing operating system (most likely Windows).
In other words, Valve please leverage Steam to at least make it easier for people to prepare their USB drives and potentially to also put SteamOS in front of as many people as possible
