• What's the best distro for an arcade cabinet frontend?

  If you want access to Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG games in addition to emulators, I would recommend https://gamer-os.github.io. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Steam gamers right now :

  If you are looking for an alternative to SteamOS which is updated, check out https://gamer-os.github.io/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Linux vs. Windows for couch-gaming setup?

  Rather soon, I'm going to be moving in with my s/o, and when that happens, I'd like to set up my existing desktop in the living room as a gaming machine. Since it's for going to be mainly for games, I want there to be as little need for mouse/keyboard, or any sort of desktop interaction, which is something that seems like linux could be great for (reading the pinned for this sub, GamerOS seems like it could be nice).

• Xbox Creates Stream Friendly Experience for E3 2021 Restreamers by re-acquiring transmission rights for all songs playing

  Propably not what you would like to here, but you could try something like Gamer OS. Haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it is really 100% usable without a mouse like they promise. Source: almost 3 years ago

• PC gaming is too much work, for me

  If you want an out of the box / console-like experience on your PC, then install Gamer OS. Source: about 3 years ago

  Https://chimeraos.org/ I've been using this one, it updates the system atomically. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Specs, Best Distro?

  I think you want something like https://chimeraos.org/. Source: 6 months ago

• When will STEAM OS become public distro?

  I’ve read about Chimera OS which seems to have the same goals as Steam OS https://chimeraos.org/. Source: 6 months ago

• Is it possible for a PC to only run steam and steam games and nothing else?

  Noone said it but the direct answer to your question is chimeraos. It's barebones Steam Big Picture mode with an empty desktop that doesn't have a browser only to do some emergency terminal modifications. It's Linux but it's designed to not involve the Linux part of it. Source: 6 months ago

• Requesting comprehensive advice for getting off Windows

  So I have a bit of experience with current gaming on Linux - I have a living-room box running ChimeraOS and my wife is currently happily playing Starfield on it - but I am now faced with the prospect of either buying a Windows key to keep my main/gaming rig chugging along on Windows 10, or just finally biting the bullet and moving my rig to Linux.
