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.~~

I'm currently using Nobara. I shifted from Bazzite to Nobara because I also use my PC for work and package installation was a pain if it was outside flatpaks.

Nobara is only an issue if you are using very old Nvidia GPUs. It's been working fine for me.

as long as you’re somewhat familiar with what RPM packages

Agree. It's very similar if you know apt

how to work around issues with their signatures (usually - a trivial matter)

Haven't faced this so far.
