Get fucked. After all the shit I’ve seen them pulling with Windows 11 they’ll never get a dime out of me again. I’ll ride my win 10 until it’s out of support then switch to Linux. Fuck monopolies, and fuck enshittification for profit.
Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don’t need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.
Playing modern Windows games on Linux and SteamOS is done using Wine and Proton. Wine is available on almost every Linux distro and Proton comes* with Steam.
*You can use Proton outside of Steam but it’s quite hacky and not really needed.
I’m sure on the game specs on the store it says steam will no longer support win 10 in jan 2025. Unless i misread and it’s it’ll only support win 10 and above.

Don’t wait till support ends, it will make the switch more stressfull
SteamOS for pc can’t come soon enough.

Amen. I’ll trust that until Gabe dies and of course some shithead takes his place and ruins the company
Just install Mint Cinnamon. It’s super approachable and Steam works great on it.
Why do you want SteamOS though? Unless you’re making a Steam Machine there are better options out there for desktop usage.
I plan to use zero patch until eol then go Linux. https://0patch.com/
Isn’t steam about to no longer support 10?
No.
Couldn’t even find a rumor of it. It wouldn’t make sense for steam to stop supporting such a large part of their userbase.

Unless you provide a source I will consider your comment as FUD.
I’m pretty certain it’s latter of my comment. Don’t know what FUD means though
