  It’s impressive that’s still the case when SteamOS is running a translation layer that Windows doesn’t have to.

  Also, SteamOS is actually a pretty fully-featured OS, and it’s based off of Linux, so it’s not that specialized, besides the UI.

    Yeah it’s basically Arch with KDE Neon/gamescope that runs Steam in Big Picture mode with an immutable file system. That’s why Bazzite is able to make a StramOS-like experience. The hardest things are the hardware-specific tweaks.

  SteamOS is able to launch a desktop environment where you can do anything you want. It is just an OS like Windows, but better.

    Cool, can you run video rendering software on it? How about some cli? Can you delete packages? Or even remove the french language?

      Yes, yes, yes, yes.

      yes, it’s a desktop OS. it’s literally arch linux. i have a friend who slaps the steamos recovery image on every pc now and just uses it as their go-to daily driver.

  If I had a trillion dollars, and no desire to add telemetry bloat to my OS, and I’m incentivized to compete in the market…
