I've got a gaming laptop from a few years back. Republic of gamers, or some such nonsense.
Been thinking of switching to some brand of Linux. Seems like this might be a good way to try it out.
- Be mindful of Nvidia drivers, should that notebook come with a GeForce GPU. SteamOS does not support Nvidia. Use Bazzite in such a case.
  
  Appreciate the heads up. I'm pretty sure it's an AMD processor, but I don't know about the video card.
  Is Bazzite an OS that I would use, or is it a set of drivers that lets SteamOS play nice with Nvidia?
  
  Bazzite still has experimental support for NVidia GPUs, you should use Nobara HTPC Nvidia ISO
Valve Time. Finally.

Just a few weeks ago it linked to wiki pages that hadn't been updated since 2015. Amazing
- The valve time distortion bubble is real unfortunately. Thankfully it finally caught up.
  
  I remember Steam Friends existed for a long ass time before TF2, but then they removed the service (like the tab was still there but it no longer connected to anything) for years and then when the orange box dropped, it also came with a massive update to Steam's social stuff and gave us back Friends but also added Groups.
  It always seems like they are working on these massive updates/changes/new things but not even rolling them out until it's 100% finished instead of just adding things like 1 feature at a time. Which is weird, to me, because one of the defining things about Valve is their level of iteration. You'd think Steam would just constantly be evolving every other week as they try and test things on the general public and yet... They don't. They're like the only ones that don't.
What's different? I have adeck and it all looks the same
- It's the webpage showing off steamos: https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown
  Used to show steamOS 2.0 until recently
- Ah, the cross post didn't cross post everything. Fixing it now.
- This is what it used to be
