I have a dedicated windows 10 PC for gaming only. Microsoft is actively trying to brick my machine. I have to read the fine print to make sure I’m not agreeing to the 11 “update.” I feel held hostage - it sucks.
I’m thinking of going to steamOS - I’m a casual gamer that just needs it to work when I have the spare minute to fire up a game. I don’t have time to do much troubleshooting, but I will make time so I don’t get locked into a console. Shrugging emoji.

what do you play most often? how proactively accepting are you of your niche games not working anymore?
steamOS is great when you are comfortable staying inside the curated user experience. stepping outside of it will inevitably experience work flow obstructions. the previous update broke many users’s supporting software mods. decky loader and similar.
enjoy games with kernel level anticheat?
you may need to reconsider. there is a growing list of games where the multiplayer is inaccessible because of hardware ID bans after one brat ruins the fun for everyone.
