>steamos is made for gaming, just run a different distro if you want to work
look NIGGER, I don't want to fucking dual boot. that's why I'm still using windows.

Install basically any popular distro. Then google how to install mesa on it. Then install steam. Wala

SteamOS is literally just Arch with KDE.

Mass adoption guarantees everything else will get worse. Photoshop, Premiere, and Office can stay on W/MOS.

>>105717789 (OP)
you work on your steam deck?

>>105717789 (OP)
SteamOS is for handheld devices. Only retards and people running media center TV setups run it on a desktop computer.

>>105718146
average gamer cannot handle installing arch + kde. we unironically need linux for retards (for real) if we want yotld

>>105718255

>>105718255
Gamers need to be slightly smarter. Like the ability to install an OS manually (like with WinXP back then, but with archinstall script now). It's really not THAT hard and I'm not even a coder or IT guy.

>>105718506
not hard, but not everyone is like us, that would go out of their way to do that. most of the gaming market doesn't (nor should they) have to think about dealing with the operating system, which speaks volumes of the absolute state of the operating system world.

>>105717789 (OP)
imagine thinking this world exists to please you.
your options are use whats available or cry like a faggot, I guess you're going for option B

A desktop SteamOS is the closest Linux will ever get to mainstream. But Valve don't want to do that anyway.

install emacs

Wow, i have now steamos.

>>105717789 (OP)
Install CachyOS

If you have 100 different tasks, you need 100 different specialized Linux-distros for the best performance.
With Microsoft Windows, you only need one.

Why can't a game dev just make a spreadsheet simulator in UE5?

>>105718255
It's Bazzite bro, pre-installed with drivers and gaming shit, immutable so you can't break it, software is all flatpak so it's 1-click install no fucking around

People here hate it

>>105717812
too much work
windows you just install steam and it works

>>105719962
>With Microsoft Windows, you only need one.

>and it all runs like shit

The point of steamOS is to have a gaming desktop. If you want something more general like windows literally just use a different distro. Windows manchilds would rather cry for mom than spend a single minute googling how to fix their issue.

I want them to team up with the music production companies so I can use all my vsts and shit as easily as in windows so I can switch. I'm building a new computer now and have to use that win 10 iot ltscsc so I hope they fix that until 2032.

The most difficulty i had in installing steam on linux was on Debian/Devuan and only if you want to install it through repos (you need to launch a command to enable multi-arch repos), instead using flatpak or appimage is a no brainer. On retard-tier distro like ubuntu you just open the software center, type "steam" and click to install, done.

>>105717789 (OP)
I think its more driver and dxvk magic than anything else. Its not exclusive to steamOS.

>>105717789 (OP)
main blockers at this point are the game developers themselves,
many games explicitly block linux support via anticheat and shitty drm implementations

just install bazzite retarded nigger

Just switch to any distro, bro.

>>105719962
Nice 4/10 bait, however Arch does everything I want

>>105717789 (OP)
you know you can install software on your machine yourself? steamos is just arch with pre-installed packages to run steam games

Okay mental illness back to the psych ward with you

If you cannot pass installing arch, you do not deserve the performance benefits it brings.
You just gotta stop being retarded and that shit works itself out.

>>105719962
Just compile your own fine tuned kernel and patch your bootloader to hotswap between them when needed.
You should be able to solve this.

NO ONE TOLD YOU TO INSTALL STEAMOS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

It's made specifically for the Steam Deck. You can do both on any popular distro.

Judging by the key on the right, red = M and blue = A. Hope that helps!

The only reason normalfags put up with Wangblows is because it appeared on TV and was used by other normalfags. Linux for retards will never happen, simply because desktop operating systems will no longer appear on TV for normalfags.

TAH-DAH! There is your Steam Arch.
