This is sweet, but I just use Arch. Autologin to KDE, start Steam on system startup in Big Picture mode. Course that's not a very good blog post...

I’d read it ;)

Thanks for having my back, dawg 💜

I don't understand why people make things so hard for themselves sometimes. Maybe it's the journey rather than the result.

I'm guessing that's what gets people to use Linux in the first place as well. I was kind of that way (loved wobbly windows and the cube thing), but I fully switched when Windows crapped itself and Linux was fine.

But yeah, do whatever gets you excited. I like reading about it, but I'm pretty lazy in practice so I'll just install Steam in Big Picture mode and call it a day.

Yup, I did the same on my laptop, but with Tumbleweed instead of Arch. You could probably do the same with Windows, the OS isn't that important here.

It's important to me 😂

Same, but from a technical perspective, it really isn't. SteamOS isn't special, it's just tuned for the Steam Deck and ease of distribution.

I love reading articles like these!

Thanks for sharing!

similar to how Valve says you shouldn’t open your Steam Deck because it will immediately make it less structurally resilient, you also shouldn’t open my living room PC because you might damage the precision-bent PCI slot cover plate keeping the graphics hovering above the case fans I had to use to replace the GPU fan shroud that wouldn’t fit in the case.

Lol

Why not ChimeraOS?
