It's very easy to jump into (coming from Windows), and it comes with a lot of game compatibility.
The only reason I switched to SteamOS was because Yad was very outdated on Mint and every attempt I made failed. The dependency list to attempt to upgrade it was also pretty substantial.
Wait, is SteamOS officially a thing you can install on otger devices than the Steamdeck?
Although it's not considered officially supported, you can absolutely install it on your PC. It's been working great for me. The only hangup was disabling read-only mode for editing the OS and changing the default boot up behavior (start in desktop, not big screen mode). Other than those two things, it's pretty much been plug and play.
Ohhh, interesting!
Yeah I also dont get that either, what exactly makes it so easy to switch over? If anything having a UI so close to Windows just makes it frustrating when not everything is identical.
