View submission: Do not install currently available versions of SteamOS

I tried installing the old SteamOS 2 on VirtualBox today, just to see if and how it would run.

After some fiddling, it installed and updated itself fine. I got to the setup part which looks like the new big picture mode. After selecting language and time zone, it gets to the following error and there's nothing I can do: https://i.imgur.com/u9Ot8nT.png[1][2]

Error: "e.StartScanningForNetworks is not a function"

Guess they really don't support it anymore

Bonus: If you drop into the into the terminal and try to update the packages, it sees there's a new package available for "steam-launcher", but it won't install it because the "apt" package it depends on is too old, and it doesn't provide an update for that one

There's nothing here!
