I weirdly did not see anyone mentioning SteamOS? Formerly based on Ubuntu, now based on Arch, I believe.
It's the distribution that the #SteamDeck is packaged with, and so it's become my main gaming distrib now. :]
Are they providing the arch based version for download now? I was under the impression they've only set it up for steam decks but not for general use?
@nlm You're right, but there is an unofficial version (with some tweaks to work on standards PC) available here.
It works as intended, but I would only recommend it if you intend to use your PC in a console-like setup (ie, plugged to a big screen, with a game controller).
I tried HoloISO and had pretty mixed results. I've had much better luck with ChimeraOS.
The devs on ChimeraOS are excellent too, they take in community feedback and are very helpful.
Ah cool!
Not something I'd use now then but still neat that you can get it :)
