Yes, like any Linux running KDE. With Steam installed.

This is the worst part of linux. I want to make the switch but the number of distros is overwhelming. Steam OS is appealing because honestly I just want the most tuned for gaming hands off version I can find.

If it exists just send me the link to the iso lmao.

If you’re looking for a desktop version of SteamOS and are used to using Windows, your best bet is likely Bazzite with the KDE desktop environment. There are mixed feelings among Linux users about immutable distros, (many of the more advanced users feel it is too limiting), but there’s no denying the Bazzite is the most straightforward way to get things like Nvidia drivers and HDR.

I love bazzite on my gaming rig, does what it says on the box, and for the gaming rig I just want a turn key, no faffing, coz it's game time, not work time, and this is what bazzite delivers.

Awesome. Thank you .

Is it niche or does it have a pretty big community for trouble shooting?

It has a decent community, yes. It’s basically the go-to gaming distro for many people.

Bazzite is the most “SteamOS” flavor of Linux you can get right now.

If you want an OS that has a little more control, go with Kubuntu, which is very friendly. When you’re comfortable with that and familiar enough with Linux to unhappy with Snaps and Canonical, switch to Fedora or OpenSUSE.

Honestly, these are the ones that matter. From those, you can choose depending on what type of work are you planning to do with your computer.

For servers: Red Hat (but it's paid), OpenSUSE, Debian, FreeBSD

Desktop (very new hardware): Arch, Fedora

Desktop (other hardware): Mint, Ubuntu, Debian

Hardcore, embedded, very specific needs: Gentoo, Slackware, Arch
