Hello lemmings, I’ve once again come for your advice. I’ve built a sff system with a dual boot bazzite os. This will be mostly for my kids playing games and media serving from Big picture in the living room. I’m trying to figure out the best way to set up the accounts. Ideally it would be as close to a console experience as possible but I want to make sure each kid can save their own progress. What’s my best option here? Does everyone need their own os account that signs them into steam properly? I’ve never set up a system for multiple users before.

    My kids have one Steam account each. That’s all there is to it. Super simple, just like a console.

    If you want each kid to have their own desktop experience, then you’d want to give each one their own system login.

    If you only care about them each having different Steam accounts, they don’t need different logins. You can add multiple accounts to Steam.
