Kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo safumanisa, nge UmdlaloOnLinux, ukuba iValve ilungiselela iSteamOS 3 yayo, inkqubo yokusebenza eya kusetyenziswa yi-console yexesha elizayo. Njengoko besisazi, iya kusekelwa kwiArch Linux, kwaye okwangoku akukho nto ikhoyo enokusetyenziswa. Sekunjalo, baya kukhulula into ethile kungekudala.
Kwaye kukuba iValve console ayisiyonto eqhelekileyo. Akunjalo ngenxa yento ephetheyo ngaphakathi, eneneni efana nekhompyutheni, kwaye ngenxa yento enayo ngaphandle, phakathi kwayo sibona iipaneli zokuchukumisa.
