This was already covered in a video by Dave2d (Lemmy discussion here), but it’s great to see more widespread coverage of how great performance is for SteamOS vs windows.

    I sure hope not. I don’t want gaming on Linux to be turned into something where you need to run steamOS to be able to play certain games or be dependent fully on Valve, instead of any distro you like.

    I don’t want to switch Microsoft with Valve. I want my operating system to be completely mine.

    I am already annoyed with how certain programs like Geforce Now’s new native linux client is advertised as a SteamOS client and that it only works on a steam deck.

    I don’t know if it does only works on a Steam deck but they sure advertise it as such.
