Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard could it be?"

As it turned out, remarkably easy. (Though, it helps that someone already wrote a guide for it: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam )

Pretty sure it's a YMMV situation, but my milage was pretty good.

Valve's Proton compatibility layer (based on WINE) has made a big splash by allowing most Windows PC games to run on Linux. Now the company is bringing support for Android games with Lepton (which is based on Waydroid). https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/valves-version-of-android-on-linux-based-on-waydroid-is-now-called-lepton/ #valve #SteamOS #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming #Android #Lepton #Waydroid

#SteamOS ganz klar. Am Besten über #CloudDeck

Geht aber auch super mit #LinuxMint

@pallenberg

ich selber nutze pures Arch dafür. Ich mag den inmutable Ansatz von Bazzite nicht, weil das viel Platz braucht. Cachy bringt kaum Performance. D.h. bei den Alternativen wäre es SteamOS

@pallenberg
Eigentlich gehen meiner Meinung nach alle aktuellen Linuxe (also keine LTS) für gaming.
Ich würde sogar rolling release Distros empfehlen, da fort die aktuellen Fortschritte am schnellsten kommen.
Allerdings könnte es bei den NVIDIA CS treibern ab und zu Probleme geben. Welche dann da die besseren sind wird jedes mal anders sein.
Tipp: installiere deine bevorzugten einfach auf nen schnellen USB stick und teste sie ne Woche.

Moin #Fediverse und kleine Frage an die #Linux Community - Stichwort Gaming unterm Penguin.... #Bazzite oder #CachyOS oder vielleicht sogar #SteamOS ?

Ich haue #Windows nun von meinem Gamingrechner runter. Schon recht betagter Intel 10900K aber mit ner 4070TI.

Was wuerdet ihr nehmen und warum?

That's awesome, #SteamOS is based on Arch Linux I did not know

Valve's upcoming Steam Frame is a VR headset that brings a major update to SteamOS. Originally a Linux-based OS for AMD-powered handheld & desktop PCs, it now runs on an ARM-based VR device that supports Linux, Windows, and Android games + streaming. https://www.uploadvr.com/valve-steam-frame-official-announcement-features-details/ #SteamFrame #Valve #VR #SteamOS
