Tested Solution: (credit to koera) NOTE: this only applies if you are still stuck with the blank blinking windowДЄfter install and the black screen appears, press Ctrl+Alt+F2, wait for the prompt (if prompt doesn't show up rebooting into recovery mode press escape during grub, select recovery). steamOS should boot into big picture mode and you can now use steamOS! Type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3' then type 'desktop' for the password. Log out of the gnome session and select the 'steam' login again only this time select steamos as the instance (lower left) then type in the steam password (passwd is 'steam').ДЄfter logged in, press ctrl + alt + F2 to get to a terminal window. Type 'passwd' and set the desktop password to 'desktop' NOTE: this might be a good time to run the desktop fix. Click activities at the upper left, and applications then run terminal. once that is done, log out and log on as SteamOS desktop (aka desktop). repeat 14 again (you might get errors after launching steam, just reboot and restart step 14) until you can log in to steam then accept the eula. The system will reboot shortly after logging in.ДЄfter the reboot repeat step 13 but this time double click the 'Steam' icon on the desktop. Select Steam and ensure below to select the gnome session, using the 'steam' password If you do his fix you no longer need to finish steps 13-16 this time let grub select the top option (not the recovery mode) At this step some of you might want to try kaztros fix which I have added below.

type 'sudo passwd steam' and set the password to 'steam' It should dump you to a prompt type 'su desktop' Enter, then 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' then type 'desktop' for the password. select the default bottom option (recovery) Select yes to grub unless you're doing dual bootДЄfter the system reboots, remove USB, and wait til you see the grub menu. Select to install the Debian Desktop Environment Select language, region and all that, setup any custom partitions you need the 4 main partitions and sizes will be / - 5-10GB, swap - 3-10GB, /boot/recovery - 5-10GB, and /home - as large as possible. if you are doing a dual boot I would assume that you should already have shrunk you NTFS partition to what you need for SteamOS Select which ever install you feel most comfortable with (I chose expert because I have custom partitions) if you choose Automated install skip to step 8. Reboot machine with USB disk in (ensure you set your BIOS to boot from the USB disk)

We are working with AMD to get a fixed driver into SteamOS but this also affects other Linux distributions. If you have are having a black screen and you have an AMD card and you can get into the system, try 'sudo apt-get install libxinerama1:i386' and see if that fixes it.
