No system management. A set once and forget it system, ala console style, but with the potential of off the shelf high power components for PC games on the living room is a quality proposition.
Sure, but the support, both technical and reputational that a steam OS compatible machine brings would steer the market for more accessible and purpose made components. Bazzite is awesome and my daily driver, but it doesn’t have the fancy endorsement of Valve, the owner of the largest game store in the world today.
I just think it’d be neat to have a gaming Linux distro, made by a company that distributes games. Maybe it will be a standard distro for game developers to test their games.
I want SteamOS on desktop 😅
What are you hoping to get from SteamOS that you aren’t able to get from any other Linux distro?

Bazzite as HTPC and you can do that already, if you want to test your dream.

I use my Deck docked regularly. In desktop use I see no benefit over Fedora and alike.
I’m hoping to build my first Desktop soon and i’m praying that Valve gets an Official SteamOS release out by then. I’d kill to have it.
