Please Valve launch SteamOS, and I can be done with it
Unless Valve has said otherwise, I doubt SteamOS is going to be released for desktop. SteamOS is basically just Arch + kde plasma but with tweaks targeting the SteamDeck hardware
Is there really a significant difference between steamOS and using big picture mode + proton? I've had hardly any issues using steam on Ubuntu to play windows only games. Even Microsoft flight sim works despite trying it's hardest to act like part of windows.
KDE Linux to me sounds like the desktop Linux worth waiting for - although if you are willing to put in some work, EndeavourOS is half way there and available today
KDEs Project Banana OS basically sounds like Steamdecks immutable Arch with Plasma
there not many easy results for "arch based distro with KDE how to [do thing]" but there are a lot of Steamdeck tutorials and a SteamOS desktop version would make it better
My yearly "I should try Linux again" cycle would probably stay permanently if Valve makes the OS
People who just blindly copy and paste random commands without any transferable thinking shouldn't use computers in the first place.
everyone starts somewhere, it stars mindless then they eventually learn slowly but surely with a lot of mistakes. I did. I nuked my OS several times but now know a lot more about Linux because of it.
If you apply that thinking then 9/10ths of the Linux community wouldn't have ever started using it.
Hell 99% of the non tech people I know IRL wouldn't be able to send a text if that line of thinking is extended to them.
So they shouldn't pay their bills, do their taxes, work?
You can't live without using a computer anymore.
They should learn working with computers then.
Just install Bazzite, I think that's basically SteamOS.
Oh huh, Bazzite's based on Fedora Atomic. What's the one that's just Windows under the hood? I remember being surprised, "why would people want to install THAT on a Steam Deck"?
If i remember well, Chimera OS is what steam took inspiration of for steam OS.
It is available for desktop. take a look on it :) .
