This is the worst part of linux. I want to make the switch but the number of distros is overwhelming. Steam OS is appealing because honestly I just want the most tuned for gaming hands off version I can find.

If it exists just send me the link to the iso lmao.

If you’re looking for a desktop version of SteamOS and are used to using Windows, your best bet is likely Bazzite with the KDE desktop environment. There are mixed feelings among Linux users about immutable distros, (many of the more advanced users feel it is too limiting), but there’s no denying the Bazzite is the most straightforward way to get things like Nvidia drivers and HDR.

I love bazzite on my gaming rig, does what it says on the box, and for the gaming rig I just want a turn key, no faffing, coz it's game time, not work time, and this is what bazzite delivers.

Awesome. Thank you .

Is it niche or does it have a pretty big community for trouble shooting?

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 3 points 7 hours ago

It has a decent community, yes. It’s basically the go-to gaming distro for many people.
