    As a full time linux user. I use Bazzite on my HTPC (SteamOS UI), Framework 16 (KDE Desktop), and Desktop PC (KDE Desktop). I think me using it across the board speaks for how much I like it.

    Hopefully, now that Valve are in a partnership with Arch, they'll be able to push out a general release of SteamOS at some point in the future.
    Valve are basically paying the Arch developers so they can develop Arch faster and more reliably. In turn, SteamOS and all the other Arch based distros benefit from the updates and continued maintenance of the OS.
    It's pretty smart.

    Nobara is an amazing gaming distro based of Fedora and has Steam-HTPC and Steam-Handheld versions. I'm using the Gnome version for desktop and works like a charm for most games. I'm also using the Gamesir G4 Pro controller, everything works fine except the special buttons for screenshots and turbo.

    What people don't understand is that SteamOS is more of a program sitting on top of Arch Linux (Steam front end + Arch Linux bundled together is SteamOS) rather than a whole OS itself. What Bazzite or ChimeraOS have done is reverse engineer that front end and slap on other Linux distros (fedora for bazzite, arch linux again for ChimeraOS), and make them work with the hardware of other devices by including the right drivers. This is why the same plugins such as Decky Loader and CSS Loader work for SteamOS, Bazzite, etc. They're all the same Steam front end.

    • @WyvernDotRed
      @WyvernDotRed 19 часов назад +2

      True, but SteamOS is Valve's own redistribution of Arch Linux, with their slightly customised kernel and duel BTRFS image based install.
      In which some tweaks are made to make it integrate with the hardware better, though this is replicable on other distro's.
      Additionally, their gamescope window manager is custom, though other distros can use this too.
      Those plugins mostly hook into the Steam client frontend though, which's code is included on the Linux package too and can be enabled with a flag.

    • @PomuLeafEveryday
      @PomuLeafEveryday 17 часов назад

      @@WyvernDotRed When people talk about wanting SteamOS though, they're mainly talking about wanting the console like front end, easy control customization, proper sleep function, etc. The Steam front end does all that on both Bazzite and ChimeraOS too. People are not talking about the tweaking or optimization for Steam Deck hardware behind the scenes, though fantastic as they are. People talk about Bazzite or ChimeraOS like they're copies or remakes of SteamOS, but it's literally the same Steam front end that provides all the same features, or at least all the ones that actually matter for the user experience. And then they're put off and say they'll wait for the official Valve version of SteamOS for other devices, like it'll be "better". The experience will be exactly the same. And Bazzite/ChimeraOS will have had a head start on optimizing for those other devices such as the ROG Ally.

    I decided to download Bazzide on my OG Alley because Windows was extremely frustrating and annoying to use. I installed it immediately and preferred it over Windows. On Windows, I used Steam’s Big Picture Mode as my primary way to interact with my games, but it had some issues. For instance, if you set the resolution of a game lower than your desktop, it would start to glitch. Bazzide addresses these issues and makes it easier to use. In fact, I use my Alley as a handheld, PC, and console-like experience by plugging it into a big TV. It’s definitely the best decision I’ve made for my Alley.

    The theory is, they want get steam deck version of steam os, as stable as possible. Then at some point they surprise the world and say here for free or here for $10 is steam os. Install it on your desktop pc and ditch bloated windows 11. Lol I wouldn’t care if Valve charges some $$$ for steam os. Anything they do is leagues away from bloated windows 11.
    Ms won’t be happy it, and I doubt they can do anything about stoping steam os but GOOD. Ms would shut down steam os if given the chance. But thankful, that will never happen.
    Ms has ZERO reason to be innovative because they have zero competition, other then with them self. They BULLIED all other OS system out of business except Mac OS ( not a threat to windows ) and Linux. IBM OS/2 Warp was just many other OS that were bullied out of business by ms or shut down by ms lawyers.
    I just hope steam os has gtx drivers. As still have GTX 1080ti. Gpu prices Canada still over priced. Last tried HaloISO on my GTX, it was a buggy mess. But this like 2 or 3 yrs old. Pop up menu to shutdown didn’t work.

    It doesn’t run lossless scaling. It also isn’t gonna run AMD fluid motion. AMD’s frame generation technology can be difficult to get running in its most updated form on handheld windows pcs, but it’s certainly gonna do its thing if you choose to go there. However, lossless scaling is “plug & play” & works instantly upon a simple download & install & it blows away anything Linux is capable of. Lossless Scaling will legitimately quadruple your frame rate, causing games that are running at 30fps natively to run at 120fps with the simple press of one button. Installing Linux on a windows pc for the sake of “gaming” doesn’t make one single solitary ounce of sense, I’m afraid.

      @@sedasauce5030 put it this way if you have 32 gigs of RAM & lossless scaling you can run Returnal with ray tracing on medium and get 100 fps+. You can run basically any game that uses ray tracing at medium ray tracing settings with a little boost from frame gen, but w/o frame gen you likely won’t get there. It’s more then frames, it’s the whole performance-the graphical settings you can use, the resolution you can use, etc,. If you want to dedicate that extra performance beyond simple additional frames you can. I don’t even use sleep mode & it would not equate to such things to me. Sleep mode does not equal or surpass high level performance gains in my book. But to each their own.
