• 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

  Closest you'll get is with SteamOS which can be run on a PC: https://store.steampowered.com/steamos. Source: 11 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

• 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: almost 3 years ago
