@mattijamsa Valve put in a lot of money developing SteamOS, which is their fork of Arch Linux. They also massively pushed forward Proton.
And as it happens, SteamOS (and Bazzite) now work on other well-known gaming OCs like the Asus ROG Ally and the Legion Go.
Now people are building Steam boxes based on Linux. -

@hp Can’t say you’ll never run into hassles ever, but I’ve played 2 out of 3 of those games on my Steam Deck hassle-free.
