I’m thinking about switching to SteamOS since it’s built for gaming. Most of my games run fine on Linux Mint, but not all of them. I also heard Valve say “it’s just a PC”, does that mean it’s suitable for software development too?
bazzite is probably the better choice.
you can most likely get all of the same benefits from your existing install, though. just need the right configuration.

You can’t get Gamescope, which really makes all the difference in the world, especially in couch/controller gaming.

Bazzite utilizes Steam Gaming Mode by forking ChimeraOS’s
gamescope-sessionand modifying it to fit the needs of our operating system.Bazzite was offered as an alternative to “your existing install”.
Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.
You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?

LOL It is not.
On many distros it is.
…was there something you wanted to add?
SteamOS isn’t really avaliable 😅 they said they were gonna do it, but they never did.
Bazzite is basically steamOS for normal pcs- but I would try something like endevaros or other arch distros if u wanna aim for steam.
SteamOS is arch based.
