    I’m on my way to linux, my main is still win10 for now but my pi4b 8gb is my linux plaything while I learn. That being said…

    Anyone see SteamOS for PC happening? Is it still “limited” to AMD cpu/GPU? Sooner or later? Is it already possible? Somewhat out of the loop, sorry if this has been asked time and time again.

      Yes, eventually.

      But you don’t really need to wait for Valve to get their things in order on how to support such a thing.

      Because Bazzite is excellent. It’s based on the known good Fedora Silverblue, and brings in a bunch of improvements, as well as all the features unique to SteamOS.

      And it works on Nvidia GPUs, with some caveats.

        What you say lines up with my main machine (AM4+2070Super) and is encouraging. Was thinking about trying PopOS and/or Endeavour, and completely forgot about Bazzite. Thank you so much for the response!

          I think Bazzite is the closest to what people are hoping SteamOS on dekstop will be. Sane guardrails with extensive hardware support, and flatpak software installation pre-configured.

          I’m an endeavour user myself.
