Honestly almost everything works on my steam deck. The only things that don't work are online only games with anti-cheat, and I barely ever touch those. I could possibly make the leap on my main pc to be fully steamos

Make the switch to Linux, by all means but I don't think you should use SteamOS as a desktop OS.

Especially if SteamOS remains immutable when it lands, then I really won't be able to suggest it except for situations like "my kids have a habit of blowing up their computers" or something.

I actually like immutable OSes exactly because most people do have a habit of blowing up their computers.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

All I want is for people to make informed choices when picking an OS for a machine. An immutable OS has value in the right circumstances, but if you weren't expecting that it would definitely be frustrating.

My kids play on my Steam Deck so I know all too well how useful it can be lol. I've done many Windows reinstallations in my time.

Yet or ever

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Ever. It's not a desktop OS.

Darn, so you mean "We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Machine" meaning handhelds?

Here I thought maybe they would go full fledged desktop OS 😞

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 1 points 40 minutes ago

I don't think they mean necessarily handhelds but definitely console-like machines. Like the OG steam machines.
