    For those of you who is hyped, what is that so good with SteamOS, please? Honest question.

    Own a Steam Deck myself. I ran SteamOS for about two months, I think, then I finally had enough of it because I really want to install some software of my choice on it, and having some control over the machine in general. But SteamOS is putting an immutable layer on top of it somehow and reset the changes I made every time I updated it. Forgive me for I don’t remember much detail.

    Now I run Gentoo on it. I can still install Steam and all the games if I want, and I have full control of it.

      You seem to be comparing it to other Linux distros. The success is that it’s not Windows (but can still run pretty much all the games).
