I still have no real overview what SteamOS does allow to use and what not. But it may be a real alternative to a gaming installation under Windows Damn 11. In that case I would consider to get a cheaper small secondary computer again (laptop, webbook...) for browsing, shopping, homebanking, maybe some home computing like text writing and photo editing, that runs under a normal Linux.

If Steam OS would allow installation of Firefox, an email client, Open Office, then i am already quite certain that this would become my next big system when my current W10 rig, 7.5 years old, breaks down.

Anyway, I will not get W11. Under no circumstances. Its way too dangerous and compromises my most essential interests, and not due to a technical mishap or bad update, but intentionally and deliberately. Its unacceptable. And I do not even list the bloatware, the constant advertizing, the notorious enforcement of stuff that nobody wanted or asked for, the broken updates messing up machines...
