am still running Windows on it, but only for one reason: no first party support from SteamOS.

For the most part, it SteamOS isn't really necessary to get a serviceable desktop gaming experience. Pick a well-supported rolling release distro or a derivative, install Steam and Proton, and games mostly just work.

It's not perfect, but it's usable. The only real pain point around gaming is getting HDR working properly.

Closed-source software is a different story, however. Discord's Wayland support is basically nonexistent and the AFK detection thinks you're always in front of the computer, suppressing mobile notifications.
