SteamOS 3.0 Anonymous 02/11/2025 (Tue) 17:56:59 No. 1081
are any of you planning on trying SteamOS 3.0 once it gets an official release? Valve has been putting a lot of work in improving Linux usability so i'm very interested in seeing the viability of switching to Linux full-time once an official release drops. as an nvidia user, i'm especially interested in their in-house wayland compositor. i have a history of using Linux on other devices, particularly Linux Mint, but always end up going back to Windows on my main PC due to nuisances. doesn't help that i have an nvidia card. what about you? will you give it a try? are you interested in the project or do you not care?
>>
also, does anybody have experience using Bazzite? a distro with a very similar goal to SteamOS. i'm tempted to give this a try as well, at least until SteamOS 3.0 releases. yes, i am a norman when it comes to my PC. i like things to mostly just werk. purists need not reply. https://bazzite.gg/
>>
I need Windows on my desktop, but I have Steam Deck and it was my best gaming purchase. I am glad Valve supports Linux gaming!
>>
>>1083 i have a friend who just recently bought one. do you have any complaints towards it? particularly the software side of things.

>>1082 bazzite is a psyop designed to groom children into lobbing off their dicks
>>
>>1081 >what about you? will you give it a try? are you interested in the project or do you not care Honestly I am waiting for release of steam OS3,0 hell thats the main reason why i have withheld from switching to endeavour from mint. though since i have a chance of getting some pc parts cheaply I might switch to endeavour before steamos releases. I will still try out steam os. i should also get a deck

>>1193 one of my friends has a deck and he uses it quite often. must be pretty alright.

>>1082 it's pretty much fedora atomic riced to look like steamOS with some apps to help you game. it's pretty good. i don't know why people are so hype for steamOS 3.0. i use fedora atomic on my laptops and it's been painless.
>>
what is steamOS 3.0 for? does it mean valva is making an OS that will play all their steam games on linux?
>>
>>1230 SteamOS 3.0 is Valve's in-house distro for their steam decks based on Arch. eventually they said it would be released for general PC use too.
>>
>>1231 whats the hype? sorry il te h illerate so I don't know
>>
>>1232 most of the hype is based around the fact that a well-respected and popular company in the gaming sphere is investing a lot of resources into a Linux distro and has a vested interest in it being streamlined and functional. i think the hype is that it could become the Linux Mint for gaymers, in the sense that it'll be the go-to Just Werks distro for them with the support and backing of Valve. it's the "year of the Linux desktop" meme but slightly less of a meme this time.
>>
when it will be ready to use?
>>
>>1235 ok rhank you
