Valve launches the Steam Next Fest right on Windows 10 EOL because they hate me, specifically. (lemmy.ml)

Like, why Valve? I was so close to clearing out all the games I was partway through, now I need to add some demos to my backlog (not many, this Next Fest is kinda weak).

~~Probably could've made it but I haven't picked a distro. I'm planning on turning my desktop into a dedicated gaming computer and not daily driver, because of the malware risk. I wanted something not finicky, something devs would test on as a known quantity, and preferably something Arch-based like SteamOS.~~

~~Garuda (Arch-based)~~
~~Bazzite (Known quantity, immutable, Fedora-based, I don't trust it for some reason)~~
~~Nobara (Proton-adjacent distro, Fedora-based)~~
~~CachyOS (Super fast, Arch-based, presumably finicky?)~~
~~Windows 7 (Based, unsupported by steam, insecure)~~

~~BTW I have an AMD CPU and GPU. Figured I should've mentioned that.~~

PopOS is a distro famous for it's Nvidia support. I'm on AMD so that's not a concern for me. Also System76 develops PopOS and they're squarely American so I'm hesitant to partake with them.

EDIT: Though it installs with full disk encryption by default, and I appreciate that even if I would probably disable it on what will be my dedicated gaming desktop.
