I am pretty sure even LTT Linus said he was waiting for a SteamOS release before trying again. I was thinking, like damn dude, if you can’t use PopOS, how will this be any different for you.
albeit this also makes any breackage almost impossible
Maybe, just maybe, this will stop people like him from catastrophically uninstalling their entire desktop environment.
SteamOS is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting. I reckon there are quite a few people who are waiting for its release before trying Linux.
Does SteamOS even have functional desktop, or is it just Steam big picture wrapper thing?
Yep. What I was meaning, will SteamOS boot right into KDE and be a computer operating system first, or boot into big picture mode and be a gaming system first.
