lol at this guy convincing everyone that steam os is better than any other linux distro.

I haven't seen the video, but I actually kinda do agree.

Linux needs a company with a face and a "normie preset for gaming" in order to get any traction. Steam OS will have a professional tech support instead of the usual "supperior geniuses" to solve the most common "user experience" issues.

And once if it does gain traction, switching to other distros won't be such a huge jump anymore.

@LukeAlmighty not this version though. the thing is that in the video he's not talking about steam OS on the deck or anything like that, it's an unofficial version made for other devices. there won't be any official steam support helping you out with it more than likely.

that's the problem here, like why would you pick steam os over any other distro unless you're actually on the deck or another portable device? for desktops and laptops it's probably better to get something like mint or manjaro if you're trying to use arch still.

@beardalaxy
Yeah... I am not a linux expert, so I'll have to trust you on that one.

But Lixus seriously needs a normiefication project.

@LukeAlmighty it pretty much is already there, it just doesn't have advertising. that's what valve is good for, advertising linux, but i wish there wasn't people talking about all these cool "steam os" features that actually just exist everywhere else in linux and are just as if not more accessible.
