    Before I bought a Steam Deck I had never used Linux but now I really like it, honestly I’m tempted to install SteamOS on my PC as it’s only ever used for gaming anyway

      Go for Bazzite. It’s basically Steam OS but with extra stuff that makes it “just work”, even on an Nvidia GPU.

      Once Valve releases their official Steam OS, you can always switch to it.

        I use Pop!_Os currently. Also has an “nvidia distro” and have a comparable experience of it mostly “just working”.

      Then Bazzite might be interesting for you too as SteamOS is from what i got more specialised for handheld

        Back then, upgrading the OS was borderline impossible without using a terminal. Is that still the case?

        Luckily my friends showed me The Way of Arch back in 2011 and I never looked back
