    I plan on trying out SteamOS pretty soon. I have a desktop with all the most compatible bits of hardware for it. I do wonder if I’ll be able to get my Intel wifi\bluetooth and my old brother laser printer to work with it.

      I would definitely recommend trying Bazzite first. It’s basically SteamOS but targeted towards general hardware instead of just the steam deck and steam machine.

      For a long time SteamOS didn’t have printer drivers because why would a steam deck need printer drivers.

      Out of all the users I’ve recommended Bazzite to generally people waiting for SteamOS or people wanting to escape Windows 11 with a Linux distro that “just works” are the happiest with it.

        Lol. Do you miss out on all the shader pre caching by doing that? I’ve played the same game on my steam deck with shader pre caching and without, and there’s a pretty noticeable difference in gameplay quality.

          No steam still downloads the precache info, at least I’ve seen it show up the same way in the downloads window in gamescope.
