I have win 11. I only use it as a steam game machine and sometimes vr games.

If I’m ever required to reformat I’ll probably try IoT Enterprise LTSC. Unsure how video game friendly the version is though.

Just go SteamOS or Bazzite. Make shit easy on yourself.
IIRC vr is still a bit of a mess on Linux.

Steam vr sucks. I got Monado working alright with a bunch of fiddling around, though I don’t use fbt so no idea how well that part works. I’m using an index btw.

Only unsolved issue I have is that I can’t get steam vr to update my base stations.
