Hmm, yeah I read that. I think you are just not the target audience of SteamOS. It’s more or less meant for people who don’t want to tinker.

If you’re already familiar with Cachy it’s probably a great choice. Personally I went with OpenSUSE which was quite a hassle to get set up like I want. Especially since I couldn’t be bothered to hook up a keyboard. But I think Cachy has all the stuff I had to add manually already integrated.
