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)

      Debian based distros are good, but I always had problems with the slow releases. And no idea how well that works out for GPU drivers if you plan to play new games

        I don’t have the newest GPU, but a rather new AMD one and I can play anything without problems. Love Debian for gaming, actually, no other distro has worked quite as well for that (for me) until now.
