    I’m tired of seeing these posted. It is beyond ignorant to use any one distro and say, “Linux (as a whole) is good/bad,” based solely on that experience.

    Additionally, Steam works out of the box in Ubuntu. If you don’t know what you’re doing in Linux, stick to that.

      should work out of the box with manjaro as well. on the steam deck recommended dev platform they list manjaro until steamOS 3 launches together with the dev kit.

        Works out of the box with me on Mint, Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora.

          Works out of the box pretty much everyone remotely mainstream tbh (from my experience)

      I’ve never had Steam not work right after installing from the package manager on either Ubuntu, Manjaro, openSUSE, or Fedora. I don’t get why they’re having so much trouble.

      Regardless of the distribution he uses, he would have lots of complaints. It’s the bitter truth. Audio problems, support for special gaming hardware, glitches with proprietary apps like Discord and Teams, are common across distros.

      I’m posting just for awareness, but I agree the view they are painting isn’t very fair nor truthful, which is somewhat “worrying” as LTT has a very big audience.

        Especially since I honestly expected they’d be a lot more knowledgable on this, being a literal tech news company.
