Comment on From feast to famine: Steam hardware reservations
frank@sopuli.xyz 19 hours agoYeah, originally the idea was to insta upgrade it but I don’t have any RAM or SSD lying around. The costs of a good SSD or a good microSD aren’t that much lower than upgrading from valve, so I’ll definitely consider that.
That’s so exciting to hear! It’s gonna be a do everything machine for my partner so glad it is quiet and can game

Absolutely silent. My desktop at home makes more noise.
There are a few small quirks to having a immutable distro and only using flatpak. Your home is preserved though, so no issues there.
Most people probably wont even notice.
BUT: if you do find something that is not in flatpak, or doesn’t play nice, it is really easy to use KDE Kontainer and add a distro of your choice in a container. Anything you put here is never touched by SteamOS updates, interacts fully with your own user, and icons can simply be added to the menu to launch without having to touch or manually launch the container again. There are several guides and it is fairly painless.
Again, you may never need to. I just am adding that info here if anyone finds it useful.
