I’ll throw steam os on my mini PC and just pretend it’s a steam machine. I knew they were going to break $1k but yeesh, breaking it AND only 512gb is tough
I’d recommend Bazzite over SteamOS. Even if I was buying a Steam Machine, I would still just use Bazzite.
Edit: just to clarify because I made this post hastily that I would only suggest Bazzite for power users. SteamOS is just fine for a lot of folks.
They both run Arch, both are capable of running KDE & Gnome DE, both are immutable but only one will get dedicated support from the manufacturer and developer.The use of HDMI CEC is not typical for desktop environments, I doubt you’ll get the same “sleep” functionality on Bazzite.
No, Bazzite is based on Fedora. SteamOS is based on Arch. Maybe you had Bazzite confused with CachyOS?
Yup my bad, I have striked it out of my previous comment.
I should specify that Bazzite is really just for power users or tinkerers. It has a lot better capabilities.
Like others have said that of all you’re doing is playing games SteamOS is fine.
The Bazzite community is fantastic. I’m sure they can figure that out.
Why’s that
I daily drive Bazzite and I’m not fully in agreement. If you’re doing non-Steam games or emulation, or desktop stuff, on AMD hardware Bazzite is the winner IMO because it ‘ships’ with that stuff preconfigured in a way steam os doesn’t and Bazzite has something very similar to big picture mode for AMD. Hardware compatibility is probably still better out of the box with Bazzite too.
If you’re only playing Steam games on the TV Steam OS is arguably better.
I’d after with this.
