As a Windows user, I fucking hate windows and pray for the day SteamOS becomes available for download

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it is available for download, though?

Iirc that's SteamOS from back in the Steam Machine days. I believe it's a completely different distribution from what runs on the Steam Deck.

Why?

What makes Steam OS so special? I don't really understand why you can't just install Steam on literally anything else

I wanna get into Linux, and I feel SteamOS would be a beginner friendly way of doing it, since I don't have a whole lot of time right now to dedicate to learning to do command line installations.

That is still not unique to Steam OS. Also Steam OS on PC hardware is going to be a lot less smooth as Steam OS is optimized for the exact hardware of the Steamdeck.

If you want Linux go Linux mint or something similar. The system has a solid base with automatic GUI tools that handle the system. It is possible to completely skip the command line but personally I would do some basics as CLI tools are almost always faster.

Maybe look into Bazzite, it's a gaming focused distro that's pretty beginner friendly.

Home theatre PC running SteamOS would be kickass
