- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 3 weeks ago:
Ok, thats good to know. The limited access to Linux I’ve dabbled with in the past used Gnome - which was fine - but I’m always up for learning something new.

I recommend picking the dropdown to not boot into Steam Gaming Mode.
Good to know…
Thank you!

Exasperated Sigh
LOL! Sorry! Newbie nitwittery on the loose!
I’m actually an over four-decades long Apple user who’s main usage was graphics and music.
The PC was a former hackintosh running El Capitan and used for video production and Aperture… I bought it from the guy that built it and slapped Win 10 into it just to game on. (I did add the nVidia 3060…) Not really familiar with things outside of the Apple ecosystem, but I’m now fed up with the constant churn there and looking to expand into new territory.
I saw SteamOS mentioned and tucked it away in the back of my head and just remembered to ask about it earlier.
So now I know! You gotta ask somewhere no? So it might as well be here…
Am going to suss out the Bazzite and probably add it on a separate SSD - I have connectors for 3 drives in the PC and a Thunderbolt expansion card which may or may not work that is currently in a drawer with the USB 3 card…
Dual boot, (which I do use on my old MacPros) shouldn’t be a problem on the PC - I do that from the PC’s UEFI, amirite? - so I will keep the Windows install and just play with the Bazzite until I get comfy with it.
Thanks!

Penguins it is then!
I’m currenty an Apple user looking at the EOL of my ancient indestructible Intel kit (my newest Mac is a 2010 MBP which is running an unsupported macOS install) and deciding that, given Apple’s interminably frustrating OS decisions (walled gardens and all that rubbish…) on top of their switching yet again to a different platform - Apple SIlicon - that Linux is going to be my next adveture in OSes…
Will start with the PC and Bazzite, and may need a bit of help, as while I do know a few Terminal commands in the Mac, the PC presents a bit of a mystery (though I hope it’s gonna be less alien than I think, once the Linux OS is in…)
Much thanks to everone!
