Shouldn't the code here be updated to 3.xx after release?

Your system information:

N/A

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Not necessarily an Open-Beta but please atleast release the source code here under GPL ahead of any testing, people often try to turn to leaks and that's not ideal for anyone :/

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. To try and access SteamOS Installer on official websites but can only find out-of-date references and links to the old Debian proposal (Old 3.0) ☹️
2. Not any different for those that pre-ordered any of the SteamDeck versions.
3. Nor is it currently available for devs despite the reveal that people are using it (December Update 20211120.2) and making the information public domain knowledge and therefore publicly accessible.

Could this be considered now that it has likely started distribution under the terms of f-OSS Licenses used?

Yes, GPL2, GPL3 and modified LGPL (at least) code need to be made available to user or customer, in this case customers and is not mandatory to be publicy available AFAIK, of course one can be do more then do the bare minimum legal and being more community friendly

@alexvalve @mikela-valve @kisak-valve Could you guys perhaps help us get an update on this enquiry?
Especially with the usage of GPL Licensed components that have been redistributed,
atleast 'Source-Available' on GitHub (or GitLab) then Devs from the community could send contributions via pull requests to help out & improve the Linux DE experience as a whole,
...even if under a Canonical-Styled CLA for the Steam Parts :3

I see you tagged me, but I don't work for Valve (would love to!), but was really involved with the community when SteamOS came out. From what I understand, shortly following official release, we should be able to use/download/check source for SteamOS 3.0 (based on Arch Linux). I haven't been able to find much else on this at the moment. I'll ping Gabe via email and see if he responds.

Edit 0: I would expect it to show up in https://repo.steampowered.com/ at some point. But I also have not seen any updates to https://store.steampowered.com/steamos page.

The Steamdeck cad Files are Hosted here, so maybe it also could show up here:

My apologies, I had no idea who to tag and tried to scan through past issues and pull requests 😅

I've already taken SteamOS 3 packages and made my own portable, gaming optimized, operating system with Mac support.

We could really take our project to the next level if we had access to the source code. Things like tweaking the Mesa package to include Intel OpenGL drivers and maintaining forks of SteamOS packages like linux-neptune on the AUR for all users to enjoy and benefit.
