Most of the distros run steam great out of the box. Our biggest problem is video card updates breaking crap. Linux Tech Tips scared a bunch of people off by not reading a warning message on an update then refusing to seek any help when something broke.

If you’re building or buying a PC for Linux, you gotta go AMD. Such a better graphics experience than Nvidia, I’ve never had video drivers break since switching.

I am pretty much dedicated to notebooks these days and choices are VERY limited.
For desktops though, absolutely.

Im excited to live in that world.
Any game that relies on BS DRM like Denuvo that refuses to work for SteamOS can die in a fire.
Most of the are shitty multiplayer games anyways.

next PC upgrade won’t feature any Intel or Nvidia, full AMD full glorious Linux under steamOS hopefully

Have done that since 2014 and do not regret it one bit. 10/10 do recommend.

You don’t need SteamOS. It’s likely not going to solve any problems for you that aren’t solved elsewhere. It’ll be good for console-like devices, but just use a normal desktop distro for a desktop computer.
I like Garuda Dragonized for gaming. It comes set up with a lot of gaming stuff already, and makes it easy to install a bunch of other gaming related packages you may want.
Theres no need to wait for Valve. The problem is solved already.

eh? I tried gaming with lutris fairly recently and I’d call it far from solved.
it’s in a better spot than a decade ago

What went wrong? I’ve had essentially no issues lately. I know there’s a handful of games with anti-cheats or DRMs that break (mostly out of China), but it’s pretty minor. Modding is also a bit of a pain and has to be done manually for now, but Nexus is working on a new mod manager that should work for all platforms eventually.

Since the first steam machine in 2008 it’s all I’ve ever wanted…
