  • Bought my SD last September. Immediately wiped it and stuck Windows 11 on it. Had been fighting with setting up controls, getting a decent game launcher (Playnite) and using loads of community bulid tools to make it run nice (like getting tdp controls to work, getting the steamdeck buttons to register, battery icons, custom key shortcuts to bring up quick action etc.) Then one day I thought I’d try steamos. It was bliss, after a bit of usage I deleted my Windows install. In fact I’ve switched OS again now to a more hybrid solution. I’m using Bazzite, which is based off Fedora 39, but has all the functionality of SteamOS game-mode baked in. Using it purely for games, you’d probably never even notice a difference. But switch to desktop mode and you’ve got a greatly enhanced environment where its so much easier to install rpm packages, run Android emulation and so much more.
