Q: New to linux, is steam os an ok pseudo casual distro? - eviltoast

I want to get some experience with Linux before win 10 goes end of support. I won’t be using this machine for work. Gaming primarily but also 3d printing and possibly some light piracy. Is there any reason not to install steam os?

Thanks in advance kind and wise nerds in my phone.

    For pseudo-casual I’d suggest Pop!OS. It’s what I have running on my wife’s machine which is an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU. She claims not to be a techy, but I think it’s more that she doesn’t want to be bothered with tinkering.

      Pop! was my first choice also. But it’s so locked down that if you want to, say, add another HDD the OS makes that a massive pain.

      I moved away from it shortly after that.
