if you’ve ever thought about using linux as your main operating system but found it too impractical for everyday stuff, this might be your chance.
give it an honest try, it’s worth it.

What #valve has done for Linux adoption is extremely impressive. Proton alone is a monumental achievement.
Isn't Proton just a pseudo-fork of Wine? I don't notice much difference when running games with default Wine vs Proton.
The way it's implemented is completely seamless into Steam. It has various game optimizations and fixes over Wine and its ability to just make games work with zero user effort is really impressive. Integrated with Vulkan and DXVK makes its magic so seamless, unless you understand how it works it's not even noticeable. Lol
Now if someone could just make Adobe or Affinity software work reliably that would be a miracle. Lol
While I love and been daily driving Linux for years now, the fact you can't stream beyond 720p in most streaming services (because of DRM certificate issues) makes it a no-go to the most basic users.
It works for me cause I only use YouTube and Twitch, which work properly, but I need to pirate movies and TV shows.
Most specifically about SteamOS, it literally says in the page "Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system".
Bazzite might be the way to go. I think SteamOS 3 is still trapped on the Steam Deck right now.
