The more I learn about it, the more disappointed I become. I was hoping that Valve would use their brand and ability to devote full-time employees to improving the OS and using it to target Windows users, but it looks like it's just for the Steam Machine and Steam Deck.

I'm ok with them not having full time Linix developers working for them. They are adding greatly to Proton and other compatability layers. This is where the main focus is and where it really makes a difference regarding Linux. They aen't doing it behind closed doors either. That and there are other good alteranitives. Catchy OS and Bazzite (which is like Steam but better supported.) They are also creating the Steam machine full Linux replacement that you CAN install your own OS if you wanted it and didn't want Steam OS (or as the time I read it. ) That combined with some of their gamer friendly policies and such. They are OK with me. Quote
RitualClarity Posted Thursday at 10:23 PM Posted Thursday at 10:23 PM I haven't used this. (yet. A BIG yet) but it looks great. https://mivocloud.com/blog/Tasksel-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-needed Very useful but would require a bit of Linux knowlege. (For my LInux I had to install Tasksel first. (sudo apt install tasksel) The above shows Web Server,SSH server and Laptop (not sure what that means. ) Along with many different desktop enviroments. remember if you decide to change the enviroment for your Linux fun! When opening up a new session and selecting the new desktop make a new user for it. Otherwise depending on which desktops you use you can have a bad expeirence. Some are able to work together and others are too close and use the same config files (found in your Home folder) so they fight like windows and linux. Quote
RitualClarity Posted Thursday at 10:34 PM Posted Thursday at 10:34 PM Oh, I forgot and meant to add this to the thread. I think I forgot and didn't upload it. If I did sorry. When using terminal (named diferent in differnet Linux distros but all are CLI ... Command Line Interface) and get a crowded terminal and want to work on something else but don't want to have to close this down and open yet another terminal. Use the "Clear" command. simply type clear. Same when done. Type in the terminal exit. and it will close. Oh and open a terminal without searching for the program. CTL + ALT + T Now you can navagate the terminal much more eaiser. Chaining commands like update and upgrade etc. Use the "&&" command (minus the ") sudo apt udpate && sudo apt upgrade && clear && exit. ( didn't need the clear command lol) so many commands coming out of my ears. lol. Quote
