  I like both Mint and Zorin. Once I learned you can make your desktop environment whatever you want, I became less concerned about which specific Ubuntu distro I use, because I just want KDE Plasma. Kubuntu seems like a great option. Bazzite also seems good, but I haven’t tried it yet and I like to tinker every once in a while.

  We could always do this, by the way. SteamOS has been available since the release of the Steam Deck. The main drawback is that core updates will wipe a bunch of changes you’ve made to your OS. I got tired of reinstalling AUR and a bunch of other things every month, so I changed distros.

  Once that issue goes away, I’ll likely switch back.

  The nice thing about Steam OS in Desktop mode is that you can get the Arch experience without setting up Arch.

  I tried Steam OS for a while, locked into desktop mode, and it was great; but I got tired of having to reinstall aur after every update. Ended up going back to an Ubuntu build and using KDE Plasma Desktop, since that was the main thing I enjoyed.

  On that note, though; I’m sure the RAM in the steam machine will likely be upgradeable, since it’s basically a small form prefab PC with Arch / SteamOS pre-loaded on it.

  In fact, I hope this means we will see a desktop release of SteamOS that isn’t just turning your PC into a bulky Steam Deck.

  I believe you are thinking of a Steam Machine with this response.

  I’m hoping they do like the Steam Deck and let us get a spot in line. It took a few months for me to be able to buy a Deck.

  A buddy of mine bought one of those a while back. We recently switched it over to steam OS and the performance improvement was substantial.

  Their commitment to keep adding thousands of dollars of downloadable content will remain the same.

  I think that perceived smoothness from 40 fps comes from the LCD screen they chose, and using a controller. Docking the deck to a monitor and using a mouse makes it much more noticeable; but running games at 720p makes it much easier to hit 60 fps.
