SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck'

    Honestly, what would you get out of SteamOS on PC anyway? Just install Linux, set up the drivers you need, launch Steam at startup, and default it to Big Picture Mode.

    Boom, SteamOS.

        I dunno but I tried that and it didn’t work at all. Had to go searching around online for how to even install a damn game.

        Just for shits and giggles I fired up a VM and did a clean Steam installation from Flathub. This is the default:

        Steam Play (=Proton) is on for supported Windows games. For unsupported games it’s off.

        Wait, you had so much trouble to look if the “Enable Steam Play” checkbox was ticked? 🙄

            Yet another person missing the point 🤦

            Nah, we all get the point. You claim that Steam does not come with Proton on regular Linux distributions but you’re wrong which is an easily googlable fact you continue to deny. If your installation of Steam is somehow broken, that’s specific to you. At most the “Enable Steam Play” checkbox has to be ticked in Steam’s settings.
