  Don’t wait till support ends, it will make the switch more stressfull

  SteamOS for pc can’t come soon enough.

    Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don’t need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.

      To add to this;

      Playing modern Windows games on Linux and SteamOS is done using Wine and Proton. Wine is available on almost every Linux distro and Proton comes* with Steam.

      *You can use Proton outside of Steam but it’s quite hacky and not really needed.

    Amen. I’ll trust that until Gabe dies and of course some shithead takes his place and ruins the company

    Why do you want SteamOS though? Unless you’re making a Steam Machine there are better options out there for desktop usage.

    Just install Mint Cinnamon. It’s super approachable and Steam works great on it.

  Isn’t steam about to no longer support 10?

  source

  • Tetsuo@jlai.lu ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    No.

    Couldn’t even find a rumor of it. It wouldn’t make sense for steam to stop supporting such a large part of their userbase.

      I’m sure on the game specs on the store it says steam will no longer support win 10 in jan 2025. Unless i misread and it’s it’ll only support win 10 and above.

        Maybe you are confusing this with the news from a year ago that Steam doesn’t support Windows 7 and 8 anymore?

        By the way MS-support for 7 ended in 2015, so that’s 9 more years of Steam support after updates from MS stopped. I’d count on Steam working on Windows 10 for years to come.
