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

  SteamOS exists but may limit the games that could be played since it's a Linux based OS. Steam itself also has a web browser so no matter the way you do it have to research how or if you can disable that. There's also ways you could clamp windows down a lot but that's a lot of work.

• So about SteamOS and ChimeraOS...

  I'm a bit confused about SteamOS. Is this the offical version for desktop devices? If so, why do people use ChimeraOS if there is already an offical version of it? Or is it not complete. Source: 6 months ago

• Install on Steam Deck?

  I know I could install Dungeondraft on my Steam Deck when running Windows, but is it possible to install Dungeondraft on my Steam Deck when in "Desktop Mode" of the SteamOS? I know Dungeondraft specifically says "Ubuntu" as one of the OSes it supports, but SteamOS is based on Debian Jessie. I've tried to research how much different Jessie is from Ubuntu, but I'm not having much luck. Source: 12 months ago

• Why do reviewers still say that the Steam Deck can't run Windows?

  It’s literally a Debian distro…. https://store.steampowered.com/steamos. Source: 12 months ago

  The broken headline (should say Linux Gaming Distros) reminded me of DistroWatch's value to the community, aside from its unusual ranking system: https://distrowatch.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• How install Plasma KDE in new Kali 2023.4

  I wonder why do people keep mentioning about Kali Linux. And I hear almost nobody talk about PCLinuxOS (distrowatch.com top 21) or about OpenMandriva or about Mageia (distrowatch.com top 17). Source: 5 months ago
