    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

    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.

    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)
