Any info on whether SteamOS will be made publicly available for desktop use once the Gabecube hits?

This may seem like not a helpful answer for those who've been waiting for steamos, but I stand by it:

It may not have any real tangible benefits over bazzite. The most standout thing about steamos over bazzite might be that it's tested and shipped on hardware. This is going to make any Linux distro or really any os seem extra smooth and reliable. Once you install it on uncontrolled hardware, that goes away.

After that, it's the gamescope session, which bazzite brings over wonderfully. I don't think the the wait will be worth it if you want to do a consolized PC now.

I agree. Personally, I was only asking about it because I am interested in what Valve might contribute beyond that. For example, there are rumors about them making an "Android translation layer" akin to what Proton is for DXVK. I am quite happy with CachyOS and don't plan on using SteamOS.

Oh, got ya.

I'm expecting the lepton and vr improvement to hit other distros way before steamos. Who knows what else they have in mind, though.

For unanounced new features, I really really hope some kind of anticheat solution is coming soon as possible. I don't play any of the games affected, but it's a big stumbling block for a lot of potential users. I mention because that might (might... I don't know how) have something to do with their own hardware.

I tried popos for a minute on a new tablet and I loved that cosmic desktop.

It seems system76 devs are watching Matts videos and are looking into issues he reports or points in his vids.

This is awesome news since more things will get picked up faster. Could be an awesome and stable DE in a while.

I would have kept it on, but lemme tell you something about this tablet it that linux hates that shit lol. I flipped through live boots of like 6 distros that morning trying to find something that worked with all the tablet features out of the box. Turns out bazzite did lol.

Looks like the performance is near enough to KDE & Gnome, and having less issues than I remember his last test using older games like Guild Wars.

It's basically smaller issues still remaining, and proper HDR implementation...though it wouldn't surprise me if they catch up to Gnome's less mature implementation vs KDE.
