Full fledged SteamOS desktop release when?
What would an official steamOS desktop do that bazzite can’t? Unless you need commercial support because you are selling steam machines I don’t see how a official release would be of advantage.
I think there's just people that trust Valve more than Linux in general.
SteamOS on the deck is extremely foolproof, and people who are otherwise scared of Linux seem to think SteamOS magically fixes every perceived issue with desktop Linux.
That's my best guess but I'm just some dude.
Sounds like a good guess. I would use it just because I'm already familiar with it.
Desktop mode is kind of funky, though. You need to open steam to type on the on-screen keyboard, lol. App store got patched and it's better, but sometimes the apps get stuck downloading and I need to open up the command line to make them install
