Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

I tried their iso on a mini PC yesterday and uhh… not so good.

Installed mint and had steam running in 15 minutes after the disappointment tho.

Where did you find a SteamOS 3.0 ISO?

Ok, it’s an img file, whatever. Same same.

SteamOS

SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go S models. We’re currently working on adding support for more devices.

This is the version based on Debian, which is ~10 years old.

The new one is based on Arch.

How nice of them to just leave it up there.

I only know this because I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS on my Bazzite installation (it was in the drop-down menu), and it’s actually Arch instead of Debian. Not sure if it’s legit or what…

It should be arch, I also checked HoloISO and they removed all of their releases.
