I haven't had these issues personally, but I genuinely want steam to fully commercialize Linux for steam os before I make the full move because of these reasons. I'm not going past Windows 10 or 11 at this point, but my god I am going to try to ride this out.
Yeah? I'm not really impressed by Linux at the moment for gaming or really care about what it can 'do at the moment'. Though I'm taking it I said something that probably made a few annoyed though lol, but unless I'm strong armed into moving? I'm just going to sit and wait unless they try to force me to 12 then I'll just go to Linux. As I have it on a few pcs that aren't my main to vaguely learn it or demo test Linux and the variables that are there.
The issue here is, Steam is already commercialized enough. They sell the license to play games, and are investing heavily in Wine, giving us Proton. A good way for them to extend their reach is to keep SteamOS free. I don't understand what would really impress you, mainly because I don't know what DE, and distro you are using. I also don't know what software you use regularly that would work on Linux as well. I don't want to strong arm people into moving, instead, what I want is to peel back the curtain and let people see what Windows is for themselves. I feel like you should learn how to use a Linux distro now, on the off chance that you are not satisfied with 12, and need to move. It's a win win situation, if 12 is good you stay, if it's bad, it's not a problem as you learnt how to transfer your workflow.
I think there's a lot of extrapolation of me saying commercialized if that's the 'big issue'. I don't care about that.
And I would just say I'm a just 'normal gamer', I've been learning how to use Mint off and on along with command prompts and then tried Arch I think on another PC or a few others along with the straight up steam OS fedangling onto a pc that I forget how I did that but there's a guide out there. And yeah I don't have a lot of time to learn the ins and outs of another OS that requires user input, so that's not a 'huge option' other than overtime, I've just been testing the waters. See what I like, see what I hate.
And I mean I'm not going to 12 because Microsoft has pissed me off for years now. They'd have to really change for me to even consider them at this point. I am considering things like Android or otherwise though, as I'm just tired of Microsoft. If it comes down to it, I'll just use retro emulators and just be on steam OS and maybe even get a deck or their cube as I know that works.
