  You can try Bazzite with Steam Gaming Mode. That is basically steam OS.

    Steam is a well-known and “trusted” name, we’re tribal critters and there are a lot of people waiting for an entity like that to spoonfeed them something certified with their name on it

      What a lot of people don’t understand is how little I want to spend time dicking around with my computer. I’d literally rather scrub my toilet than spend time trying to get a different OS to work.

      And OS that is supported, and backed by a customer support helpline, and pretty much guaranteed to work, is something I’d happily pay for.

        Installing linux is to dicking around with your computer as eating more fiber is to scrubbing your toilet

    It’s specifically suited for gaming, which is all my desktop is used for. And since I have an nVidia GPU, they probably will have a better driver solution than trying to get that shit working elsewhere. That’s always been the thing keeping me from switching to Linux as my main OS. I only use it on my media server rn.

      there are many different ones available right now specifically created for gaming. they come with some extra instructions for nvidia holders 😉

      im just saying you don’t need to wait for steamos. the future you seek is now

      i actually replaced mine on deck with bazzite cause you can’t set steamos to boot in desktop mode (or lets say installing bazzite instead of tinkering is much easier)
