With windows 10 EOL on the horizon, I need steam OS to come out for desktop soon. I beg you lord Gaben. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Bazzite is basically SteamOS for desktop. Linux is highly flexible in general though, it's not that important which one you pick most of the time.

I would also like to recommend Zorin for new Linux users, it's super easy to windows users to swap to and have a good experience.

Does Zorin develop their own tools/patches or what do they bundle as office and creative suite in their Pro version?

[โ€“] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Here's a list of some of the software bundled, although it doesn't include everything as far as I know.

I don't personally use it, and I've been pretty hands off with my parent's installs of it after the initial setup, soi can't really answer either of those questions based on my personal experience of it.
