I also gave it a shot, but 2 days later went back. On handhelds, SteamOS is objectively better OS. Overlays, performance monitoring, power management etc.
But I keep seeing people who want SteamOS on desktops. Why? I seriously don't see any advantages to that over any other Linux distro with KDE+Steam. And no, Sleep isn't an argument because that is tied to the Deck hardware and probably wouldn't work properly on a regular x86 desktop
Right? I always find it weird people want SteamOS, from my experience, all distros are "gaming distros", just install your drivers if not already installed, then install the game through something like Lutris, Heroic, or Steam.
I play on Debian 12 (used to be 11) exclusively through Lutris/Native, and it works flawlessly.
