Like, why Valve? I was so close to clearing out all the games I was partway through, now I need to add some demos to my backlog (not many, this Next Fest is kinda weak).
Probably could’ve made it but I haven’t picked a distro. I’m planning on turning my desktop into a dedicated gaming computer and not daily driver, because of the malware risk. I wanted something not finicky, something devs would test on as a known quantity, and preferably something Arch-based like SteamOS.
Garuda (Arch-based)Bazzite (Known quantity, immutable, Fedora-based, I don’t trust it for some reason)Nobara (Proton-adjacent distro, Fedora-based)CachyOS (Super fast, Arch-based, presumably finicky?)Windows 7 (Based, unsupported by steam, insecure)
BTW I have an AMD CPU and GPU. Figured I should’ve mentioned that.
It’s in beta as of a couple weeks ago and it looks quite customizable, in fact. Lots of themeing options and an optional tiled mode. If it lives up to its espoused design philosophy, it looks to me like it’ll be awesome but I haven’t tried it yet.
I should dabble with it at some point. No idea when though.
