Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades
LifeLikeLady@lemmy.world 2 days agoIf your a power-casual then why are you waiting for Steam OS? You realize that any distro with steam installed is basically Steam OS?

Because I want a 800lb gorilla to perpetually support my gaming distro, working Nvidia drivers, have enough freedom to use mods and whatnot, documentation suitable for people who aren’t terminal-brained, and so forth. Valve is the kind of company that can tick these boxes, simply through sheer inertia.
I tried Mint back in early 2025. It wasn’t quite right for my purposes, so I wanted to wait for something friendlier.

Outside of what’s essentially steam big picture mode, steamOS is just an immutable arch, there’s not much support from valve for desktop mode use, you still need to know how to linux, particularly containerized programs.
The GabeCube is going to be console-like first with linux desktop features a side-thought. Mess around with a steam deck sometime so you can know what to expect. I love mine but doing anything outside of the big picture mode does have a learning curve.
