I would need games to be supported, as well as engineering programs I need like solidworks, ansys, etc

    For me, as someone who's not into esports-games, I just expect games to work on Linux now, and they nearly always do. The exception has been a couple of old or obscure titles that run fine in a virtual machine. I'm not running any fancy version of Linux, just Mint, and the only thing I do to get them to work, is install them on Steam. Proton is amazing.

    If you are into esports-games, though, there's a risk that they'll require kernel-level anticheat, and Linux does not do that.

    It feels like the problem with Linux gaming nowadays, is that people expect you to own your games on Steam. Yes, Steam's support is excellent now. But my GOG games not so smoothly. Is it because of my obscure hardware? Is it my misconfiguration? Or is it me mod my games the wrong way? I'm still trying to figure out a way to mod my GOG Skyrim through MO2.

    SteamOS and steam consoles will be really helpful for this I think

    Edit: typo

    I assume you mean games? If so, yeah I'd love to get into steamos stuff if that's an option for my pc but it'd have to be like a real os not just geared for gaming. Do you have any info on that

    Edit: but tbh I probably can't because like I said I need my work programs

    I have a steam deck, which is in console mode most of the time, but seems fully capable of acting as a desktop. The only issue is the fact that it's console shaped, but that's no fault of the os.
