Looking coolJust wanted to show my current progress on ricing. I still have a good ways to go. KDE Plasma 6 has been fun to learn and work with so far.
SteamOS isn't ready for desktop computer use. I am eagerly waiting for when they officially support SteamOS for desktops so I can have a tailored OS designed for Steam Machines. I do currently use Bazzite on my couch rig but it is designed for handhelds in mind with Media Center PCs relegated to 3rd class citizens but it does get the job doneafter steamOS released, i've been thinking of installing that in place of windows. if not that then i'll guess i would rather use mint.
Yes personally i think steam os is not going to be ready for desktop in some time. There other great options for desktop though. Mint is fantastic but i personally like Nobara Linux as easier for me to setup thing as a creative person. But personally i am more of the “try everything until u found something that u really like group” :3SteamOS isn't ready for desktop computer use.

Nvidia has released official drivers, the problem with them is they were closed source for the long time, meaning things broke all the time, amd we were at the mercy of Nvidia to fix them. But now there is the close source and an official open source version. Personally i found that the open source version works good enough in some cases but still need a lil bit of polish…I have an NVIDIA RTX 5080 Ti GPU and ryzen 9800x3d, so switching to Linux is difficult for me. Since NVIDIA's drivers on Linux are not officially made by the company, you have to compromise on FPS, Compatibility and Stability. Additionally, the game played with Wine emulator consumes more CPU resources than Windows, also there's no daz3d, and 3dsmax on linux so I’m sticking with Windows for now.
I hope that NVIDIA will release official drivers for Linux in the future
As others have said, Nvidia does develop and maintain drivers for Linux, and IMO they're definitely the ones you should use. Historically, the problem has been A. they're closed source, which draws the ire of many people and B. they tend to lag behind the Windows versions. Less so on supporting their new graphics cards, but more for supporting things that the Linux community is moving towards. Items needed for Wayland support being the famous example (at least until recently)I have an NVIDIA RTX 5080 Ti GPU and ryzen 9800x3d, so switching to Linux is difficult for me.

Nor is it meant to be for any desktop computer at all. All the tools that make SteamOS work are available elsewhere and you're better off simply installing Steam and then learning how to manage Proton (which is not hard) on the distribution of your choice. The Steam client and Proton will handle most of your trouble when you get the hang of it.SteamOS isn't ready for desktop computer use.
For the most part gaming branded distributions are a distraction, they're not much more than a riced up fork of another distribution with bloat pre installed. It's always best to get something widely used so support is guaranteed.some that are more "gaming-focused"
100% agreed on this.For the most part gaming branded distributions are a distraction, they're not much more than a riced up fork of another distribution with bloat pre installed. It's always best to get something widely used so support is guaranteed.
I do agree with that even if currently i am Nobara user for convenience with my streaming software.For the most part gaming branded distributions are a distraction, they're not much more than a riced up fork of another distribution with bloat pre installed.

Lutris and abandonware games goes hand in handI switched to Mint because I hated Windows 11 from the first moment I tried it, playing pirated games from Wine is great
Linux certainly has its fair share of issues, but I'm surprised at some of the items you list here. I'm curious what your issue with the file system structure and why you can't just install a program however you like.Sadly I don't think I could do the change, since there are some fundamental problems of Linux ecosystem that will never change.
For example, the fragmentation, the dependency problems, the hierarchy file system or how the heck is called, that I cannot install or uninstall whatever I want from wherever and where I want, etc.
I fear that someday will have to throw the towel with Windows and PC.
