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)

    My only issue is that I use OBS, and the best OBS package is one in AUR and it causes some headaches when ffmpeg updates, still not nearly as bad as some of the dependency hells I’ve ended up in back in my Ubuntu and Debian days lol

      Have you been having issues with the flatpak, I don’t use obs all too often, but I don’t have any complaints

        I can double check it. I tend to avoid flatpaks and appimages at all cost if I can.

        Does the flatpak have browser sources and custom docks, because none of the other packages I could find did.
