Check out Bazzite. It even has a GNOME variant.

I second Bazzite. It’s been a phenomenal experience on my laptop.

Interestingly, I was messing with BoxBuddy a week or two ago, and looking at what distroboxes were available to install, and there’s a SteamOS container on there. Not sure if it’s official or what, but I was able to run games on it (though absolutely unnecessary).

Pretty solid on desktop. Most issues i have are upstteam and not bazzite related. Main annoying thing is you can’t install fedora packages and have to mainly rely on appimages and flatpaks

I use my Deck docked regularly. In desktop use I see no benefit over Fedora and alike.

What are you hoping to get from SteamOS that you aren’t able to get from any other Linux distro?

I just think it’d be neat to have a gaming Linux distro, made by a company that distributes games. Maybe it will be a standard distro for game developers to test their games.

No system management. A set once and forget it system, ala console style, but with the potential of off the shelf high power components for PC games on the living room is a quality proposition.

Bazzite as HTPC and you can do that already, if you want to test your dream.

I’m hoping to build my first Desktop soon and i’m praying that Valve gets an Official SteamOS release out by then. I’d kill to have it.
