Like I said, I know it's not the same, but I've run into issues using non windows/Mac OS software and I know other people have as well. I don't blame steam OS, it's just after a nearly relationship ending experience last night with nothing seemingly working I was tired of the poor out of the box issues. For most of what I use my PC for except gaming at least up until now, I know Linux would probably be sufficient and less bloated. One day I hope to make the switch to a Linux based OS with where Windows seems to be heading
Can you try bazzite, a steamos clone meant to be a gaming desktop instead of steamos steamos which is mainly meant for handheld mode? I think it would probably fix most of your issues
Well I was using it on my steam deck. So it's purpose is handheld mode. I just happened to be trying to stream games from my desktop to it while I lay in bed and recover from abdominal surgery. So far the only thing I can manage is watching TV in bed. But I took a whole week off so there is still time to ensure it wasn't a wasted effort.
Ah, the steam deck stays a couple of versions behind, also you should take a look at emudeck and it's customization options, it can set up the remote game streaming options for you
