    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 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.

          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.
