Replying on comment #62 from a mobile. Moving SteamOS to a Fedora based distribution will be easier as the desktop is Gnome Shell based. Dnf/rpm as backend is fairly documented and writing a spec file is very easy with a well defined macros minimize breakage. Additionally, Valve will take advantage of the security feature like Selinux to help them resolve some vulnerabilities from the games themselves and also ostree based Fedora Silverblue infrastructure.

It looks like I am going to seek refuge here: https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/leap/15_1 (KDE edition)
I am a bit worried that I will have to keep fixing things with Tumbleweed, otherwise Tumbleweed looks great.

I have to support this sh*t at work (preseed, Ansible, etc.), and I still face like 3 bugs a day which I have to work around somehow. Every feature or config option is a hit or miss, on some releases it works, on others, it won't.

Fedora doesn't support NvIdia Optimus, so it's not a good choice for Steam laptop owners.
Ubuntu screwed up in so many ways. They didn't understand the technical consequences of the announcement. They didn't verify their proposed solutions first and they didn't consult. 19.10 will prove that this idea is a failure, just like they learnt from 17.10 how unready Wayland is. Both things didn't need a release to discover the obvious. Maybe this time Ubuntu desktop team can just change their mind before the obvious becomes obvious.

In general there is not much difference in speed between 32bit(x86) apps and 64bit(x86_64) appsLast edited by Raka555; 22 June 2019, 07:09 PM.
