There are distributions with a great Steam experience out of the box? It’s SteamOS actually a good choice? Maybe isn’t what you use or prefer.

A good Steam distro for me has a very mininal procedure for perfectly working controllers, client and general user experience.

Your direct test and experience are very appreciated.

    This is nonsense. The desktop environment is a secondary concern when it comes to building a console-like experience, and it being 100% proprietary does not mean it’s not polished.

      As far as I’ve been able to tell, OP is interested in an OS for their desktop or laptop, not steam deck, so desktop is likely a valid concern of theirs.

      I agree the Steam Deck’s proprietary interface is decently polished.

        Actually, you’re right, I apologize. I had it in my head that it was for a console. For general PC gaming at a desk I agree with Nobara.

          No need to apologize, but thank you all the same. I remember back when compiz first came out and had a rotating cube desktop (virtual desktops). I kind of wish that stuff would make a comeback.
