Comment on The worst timeline

Hate to admit that when I first got my deck at launch, I immediately set up a dual boot just so I could play Destiny 2 on it.
Needless to say, I no longer play Destiny 2 or even use Windows at all on any of my machines. Hell, I even installed CachyOS Handheld on my deck over SteamOS for shits and giggles.

How is it? I considered trying it, but SteamOS just runs so well. Not sure what I’d gain

I won’t lie, it hasn’t been flawless, as it’s a bleeding edge distro with a much smaller userbase than its desktop counterpart, but it’s served me well enough for 6 months or so now. Only ran into one major bug, which I hunted down myself to report as soon as I found a workaround for (i.e. steam’s background recording seems to break their latest customized gamescope).
If you like to tinker with your devices and SteamOS wiping out anything installed via pacman after an update pisses you off like it did me, then it’s worth a try, but if you literally just use it for gaming and never really touch desktop mode, it’s not really worth considering.
