Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

If SteamOS is ever launched for non-valve hardware, I would probably stop whatever I'm doing at work to get it installed

Copying my own comment from yesterday:

There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities the other day talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you're holding out until it's perfect then you'll be waiting forever!

Awesome thank you I'll check it out

It probably won't be trivial but this is Lemmy, if you're stuck there are hundreds of Linux nerds itching to help!

It was already launched for non-Valve hardware. Not for any hardware though, just a Lenovo handheld.

My old desktop has been demoted to console, and some time before Windows 10 goes EOL, I'm planning to try Bazzite on it. Seems like the closest we'll get to SteamOS on any hardware in the near future.
