As it is intended for PC, it has been set to boot by default in Plasma for standard use and will allow you to launch a Gamescope session through a desktop shortcut.īy design, this implementation of the gamescope session has some limitations similar to the ones on the Steamdeck: you can only have 1 user and auto-login through SDDM is mandatory. The "steamos-like" distro is just a 100% standard archlinux with a few specific configuration files (no binaries) allowing to launch a SteamOS Gamescope session. However, the fact that Linux is getting there should mean that Microsoft has something to worry.I have a project called linuxloops which is a custom linux distro installer ( ) and I have recently added the possibility to install a distro called "steamos-like" that is an interpretation of what SteamOS 3 could be like for PC. If it took decades for Linux to improve heavily, then we should not ruin your expectations a tad bit because it will take several more years to further reduce that performance gap between Windows 10 and the latter. This will include the likes of Intel, AMD, NVIDIA and others which control the driver stack. Steam will continue to support Linux as we’ve seen on previous occasions, but other hardware companies should also lend a helping hand. If you feel that unconditional love towards Linux, we will continue to encourage you to provide your undying support for the operating system, even though we are the bearer of bad news that you will currently experience performance drops when comparing it to Windows 10. With over a thousand titles available for Linux through Steam, you’re getting a massive number of options that you never knew existed a couple of years back. While there is no competition with Microsoft’s latest operating system, we should not ignore the fact that Linux has made some tremendous gains in a brief period.

If you want to game, Windows 10 currently remains the best choice over Linux and SteamOS.

Windows 10 remains the top-performer of the leaderboards for gaming performance but Linux is playing catch-up at a tremendous pace
