I’m thinking about switching to SteamOS since it’s built for gaming. Most of my games run fine on Linux Mint, but not all of them. I also heard Valve say “it’s just a PC”, does that mean it’s suitable for software development too?

    you can most likely get all of the same benefits from your existing install,

    You can’t get Gamescope, which really makes all the difference in the world, especially in couch/controller gaming.

      I installed game scope on my Fedora install.

      FSR crashes sometimes, so I disabled that. The only real issue OSS that if you use game scope the steam big picture exit menu gets replaced with the steam deck options only, so I had to create a separate “game” to send a kill signal to gamescope.

          Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.

          You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?

      really? i thought one of the main benefits of gamescope was that it can be nested inside an existing DE?
