    SteamOS, at this point, is not officially supported outside of select hardware (Basically, Steam Deck and other handelds), so while it is prominent and talked about - it may not be the best choice for home PC usage.

    As @[email protected] said already: Bazzite is probably the closest equivalent, it also has gaming optimisation, but a more fully-fledged Desktop experience along with it. There are other gaming focused distros (e.g. Garuda, PikaOS) as well, but if you are prone to choice anxiety, just go with Bazzite - and check the others out if you get sucked down the “I want to tinker more with my system and try out more, different Linux flavours” pipeline later.

      Unfortunately, seems bazzite may not survive. A proposed fedora change would make it so the main maintainer would basically need to shut the project down.

        Oh boy, this is gonna be floating around for a long time.

        The founder did an interview on Gardiner Bryant’s youtube channel either yesterday or the day before where he clarified that statement. The short version is not to worry about that possibility any time soon.
