Honestly almost everything works on my steam deck. The only things that don’t work are online only games with anti-cheat, and I barely ever touch those. I could possibly make the leap on my main pc to be fully steamos
Especially if SteamOS remains immutable when it lands, then I really won’t be able to suggest it except for situations like “my kids have a habit of blowing up their computers” or something.
All I want is for people to make informed choices when picking an OS for a machine. An immutable OS has value in the right circumstances, but if you weren’t expecting that it would definitely be frustrating.
My kids play on my Steam Deck so I know all too well how useful it can be lol. I’ve done many Windows reinstallations in my time.

Make the switch to Linux, by all means but I don’t think you should use SteamOS as a desktop OS.

I actually like immutable OSes exactly because most people do have a habit of blowing up their computers.

Yet or ever
Ever. It’s not a desktop OS.
Darn, so you mean “We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Machine” meaning handhelds?
Here I thought maybe they would go full fledged desktop OS 😞
I don’t think they mean necessarily handhelds but definitely console-like machines. Like the OG steam machines.
Thank you
