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
Just install Mint Cinnamon. It’s super approachable and Steam works great on it.
Why do you want SteamOS though? Unless you're making a Steam Machine there are better options out there for desktop usage.
