I'm just waiting till I can install SteamOS honestly. Love my steam deck, and wanted to turn my old win 10 PC into a Linux machine but has issues getting any distro loaded because I'm dumb and it's old. Hoping that when they release SteamOS for the chumps I'll be able to work it though probably will just be left holding an old win 10 pc lol.

    Bazzite is basically that, with a foundation of Fedora Atomic instead of Arch, but otherwise it's extremely similar, designed to be super easy. Even as a Linux nerd it was a breath of fresh air compared even to the simplicity of some other distros.

    You are the type thats bringing the Linux gaming forward. Support Steam because they are the pioneers, that other game developers are watching. I still am not a fan of steam heavy DRM dependency but that a me personal thing!

    Haha same here! I'm holding off on upgrading too until SteamOS officially drops. My old PC has been a bit of a challenge though, hopefully it'll be worth the wait!

    Honestly, I wouldn't wait for valve, they do things on their own time.

    Bazzite is basically the exact same thing. There's a few technical differences but they don't really matter for a normal user
