EDIT: I’m picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn’t know that, it’s clear the only women you’ve ever been with were 2D.
PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don’t like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I’m only meaning to make fun of allos.
Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.
I’ve heard good things about Bazzite if that’s an option for you.
you don’t have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don’t are probably because of anti cheat which won’t be solved with steamOS.
Yeah, I keep my Windows PC purely for League of Legends due to their anti cheat (read rootkit) and it’s a pre-2017 chip, so it’s not Win 11 eligible (which I’ve always counted my blessings for). And also the Spotify web page doesn’t work well for me on Linux. Other than that, I do pretty much everything on my newer Linux machine.
yeah, part of me is happy these abusive rootkits disguised as anti-cheats “don’t work” on Linux. We customers shouldn’t be putting up with that crap.
Valve is working on it.
Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.
Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.
I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.
I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.
Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.

I haven’t had any issues with any of my games.
For anything not on steam, there’s bottles or lutris, both of which work amazingly well.
There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!
