Chrome OS is still not, as of today, a complete operating system like that, and was probably never intended to be. The devices it prepares, called Chromebooks, have limited functionality (though they are increasing) that don't allow you to accomplish all kinds of tasks, but it seems Google wants to expand the possibilities of its laptops.
Converting Chromebooks into cheaper gaming devices than laptops you can use may be true with the advent of Google Stadia, the Mountain View gaming platform, but the rest is still on. Google works bring Steam and the rest of its catalog to laptops with Chrome OS
Steam on Chrome OS and Chromebooks are more powerful
The details came directly from the Android police, and when the media reported that they had an interview with Kan Liu, the Chrome OS product management director, when various topics were discussed. One of them was that The Chrome team was already working with Valve to take a Steam version on Chromebooks.
Obviously, and although there is no evidence in the discussion that these tests were ongoing, Google can take advantage of the fact that Chrome OS is based on Linux
Because it is rooted in Linux, Steam can access Chrome OS soon
Another issue, which is based directly on a discussion about Steam's arrival on Chrome OS, discussed which games will be able to work on Chromebooks, given the limited power of rendering 3D drawings with laptops with this program. This is where Kan Liu says he is waiting that this has changed and soon the mighty Chromebooks are arriving
In the meantime, Kan Liu praised patience Yes, it would take Valve's gaming platform to access Chromebooks. What is clear is that both companies are working to make this happen, and we'll see what solution they use to expand the range of topics available for all types of laptops. Maybe add Valve and Steam catalog titles to Stadia?
