Steam OS on PC is actually GOOD?!

In this video I explore just how good Steam OS (HoloISO) is by deleting Windows and running it on my main PC. Is Linux finally usable enough for the average PC user?
Note: This video features my subjective experiences for entertainment purposes, it is not supposed to be a tutorial or objective review.

CORRECTIONS: Thanks to the comments that informed me about the following, I will update this pinned comment with anything else that needs correcting: - Apex Legends does in fact run on linux and is rated gold on ProtonDB - Maya does have a linux version and there is a package available on the AUR I'll be more sure to double check all my information in future videos, even that I make one-off throwaway comments about. Thanks for the support!

I just really hope Valve officially releases a proper PC version of SteamOS 3.x before Windows 10 goes out of support in 2025. My gaming computer is my final remaining Windows device, and gaming is the only reason why I still have yet to put it on Linux. I understand most of this can be achieved on Debian-based distros anyways, but Valve’s tools in SteamOS 3.x are pretty essential

[@notjustforhackers4252]

Nah, not Debian, I'd say go for Nobara Linux, its better than SteamOS anyway.

[@TurboPikachu]

@@christianlgolden ​ With a non-SteamOS Linux distro, I'm highly tempted to rice the DE into NsCDE as I previously had successfully done with a Lenovo laptop on Debian 12.4. However, I've heard everything is less hand-holdy on Arch-based distros, so that's why I've been super hesitant to apply a comprehensive theme to my Steam Deck (outside of the few icons I've swapped in Steam OS' stock KDE). If I apply a fresh install of Garuda on my main gaming PC, I'm much more willing to take on a large-scale theme applicaion since it's not as specialized as SteamOS, but I have a feeling I'd become a regular of the Arch Forums (which could be great for me in the long run) before I have everything I want up and running. Though, if NsCDE is too much hassle, Garuda's flavor of KDE is *really nice* as is with lots of transparency affects across the UI ^^

[@christianlgolden]

@@TurboPikachu I will say that garuda is less hand holdy as with any arch, but that alot of what you would normaly need hand holding for is already done. Garuda is like a bunch of linux users looked at arch and said na....we can just make it simple. Simple software center, ALL the gaming stuff preinstalled "or installed with one click thru the welcome page.", etc. etc. It realy is the only "just works" distro I have found. Manjaro still required manual stuff, ubuntu still required manual stuff, mint still required manual stuff. Garuda fires up, asks you what you want, and then just runs. You click steam, you click start, you play game, Or you click lutis, click install, click start, play game, All the benefits of linux none of the bs.

[@chlorophyllphile]

You really don't need a Debian (or Arch) based distro, Steam runs on pretty much any distro these days. I'm personally running Fedora but like someone already mentioned Nobara seems to be a fork with tweaks that are good for gamers.

[@TurboPikachu]

@@chlorophyllphile I know most distros are fine, but some tools I do find quite essential. A couple big ones in SteamOS on my Steam Deck are GUI-based override toggles for v-sync and frame-limiting (since some games’ own frame-limiters like those in GTA 4 and recent Sonic games have terrible stuttering). Those would be some fantastic out-of-the-box options in a standalone SteamOS 3.x+ for PCs My main gaming PC currently on Windows 10 has AMD’s Radeon Software Center which has the aforementioned overrides for v-sync and frame-limiting but allows further global overrides that some games don’t have such settings for such as antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. I understand there isn’t a Radeon GUI for Linux, I’d want to be very well read up on any Linux equivalents for the aforementioned overrides if they exist, as well as an equivalent for RivaTuner(RTSS). To that end, both Garuda and Nobara sound like very good options

[@Soul-Burn]

As for VR, Steam recently released the Steam Link App which works like Virtual Desktop or Air Link, but there's no official Linux binary *yet*. For office stuff, I generally use Google stuff, so it's online. For photo editing, while it's doesn't have many advanced features, the online Photopea is surprisingly strong.

[@SpatchyIsOnline]

Yes! The steam link announcement happened when I was halfway through editing and I very nearly threw in a segment about it, but my priority at that time was editing and publishing rather than trying to get something else working. Perhaps I'll make a follow-up short once a linux binary is released 🤔

Great video, and very informative and educational, thank you!! Just chiming in to say that I'm another viewer who also found the musical interludes significantly louder than your speech, especially noticeable when using headphones. I had to turn the volume down quite a lot compared to the level I would normally have it set at. I imagine you'd probably be able to observe a discrepancy in volume output between those sections when looking at the output sound levels in your video editor. Best of luck with it, and congrats on this video outperforming your previous top video!

Nice video I have made the switch to linux as well some time ago, I mostly play single player games, so they are all steam deck verified and anything else literally works better for me on linux as I'm a cs student, so I require lots of lower level dev tools (make, cmake, decent c++ compilers, control over the toolchain, ...) My only pain point is vr, as I have a cv1 and oculus never bothered to release the linux drivers they have promised, openhmd is decent, but I will probably setup a second drive with windows for that

The Serif Affinity suite was the one thing keeping a chunk of my storage dedicated to a Windows VM.

Hopefully it's a work around i can ditch one day.

[@didikohen455]

About needing pulseaudio-alsa, that is a compatibility layer between two methods of working with audio on Linux, the PulseAudio server is installed and used on almost every distro in the last decade at least, considering you installed the video editor via AUR, it's strange it was not a requirement that is installed automatically. In general, I recommend first checking flatpak before trying other ways of installation, since the way flatpak is managed makes it more likely to have the latest version faster, and it may run better on your system since dependencies are managed in a way to ensure compatibility.

[@SpatchyIsOnline]

Thanks for clarifying this! I agree with you regarding preferring flatpak over the AUR, perhaps I should have made this more clear in the video

As far as I could tell, those tools only worked with the RGB lighting and didn't have compatibility with the macro buttons on my mouse.

[@AQDuck]

For GOG and EGS games you can use Heroic Launcher instead of fiddling around with Lutris. It also has excellent Proton tools that I wish Steam had. Any case, I wouldn't recommend using HoloISO (or any "console-like" distro) for regular PCs. What I can recommend for a similar-ish experience is EndeavourOS, which is basically Arch but already set up with a GUI (any GUI you want, Plasma is probably what you want though). Generally Arch based distros are the best for gaming since rolling release means faster updates, just may want to take backups a bit more serious than other distros and keep an lts kernel in the back pocket. More reliable updates than Windows though. Gamemode session is available in the AUR if you absolutely want it, but not as updated as the one in SteamOS, and only works for Radeon.

[@SpatchyIsOnline]

As you could probably tell from some of my footage, I completely disabled the game mode UI as it doesn't play nice with multiple monitors in my experience. The reason I went with HoloISO was just because it had proton and all of Valve's pre-configured stuff out of the box which I thought would make it an easier pill to swallow for viewers who might be looking at this kind of thing for the first time.

[@AQDuck]

@@SpatchyIsOnline Proton is included in Steam (or Heroic), so no need to install it manually (though GE-Proton is worth using over regular/experimental 9/10 times, protonUp-qt on Flathub/Discover). The major downside of SteamOS is that it's immutable with no proper package manager, you _can_ use Pacman and AUR like any other Arch-based distro, but updates will wipe those since only your /home partition, and I believe /var, will be kept. Updates are also very slow on SteamOS since it comes as a single package and when Valve feels it's needed (it just got Plasma 5.27 last month where as it's been in the Arch repo since februrary, 5.27 is vastly more stable than 5.26).

[@murillodaniel9208]

NobaraOs is also another option for gamers and content creation.

Re:productivity apps: I think people overlook the Google suite- yes it’s cloud based, but since it’s also browser based you don’t have to tinker with anything and it can even save and open Microsoft based file formats as well as PDFs. Also one thing that unfortunately keeps me from switching is the fact that apparently installing more than one language is a nightmare no matter what distro you’re using and I use the Japanese language and keyboard heavily. If Linux continues to improve and as support for Windows 10 ends however I might seriously consider switching. imo, Linux has big potential to capture a significant crowd if they can iron out the remaining major kinks of the OS by 2025

[@AlfiesFuntime]

Nice video, didn't expect you to have under 10,000 subscribers. One thing to note though is the audio mixing, the video is quite quiet but the music in the chapter titles are really loud. If you could turn up the volume between those sections or the music volume lower, that would be better Another thing to note is the audio and video is out of sync, make sure they're synced up in editing

[@hudsonator7259]

Instead of SteamOS, i would use just regular Arch Linux instead, as when KDE Plasma is installed, it is basically SteamOS. The big difference between SteamOS and Arch Linux is that SteamOS has a locked root filesystem and SteamOS updates basically rewrite the root so packages like gcc, various SDK's and others get removed every update, unlike Arch. SteamOS also has it's own mirror of the AUR, and some packages will be different because, for just not there (although I've found most to be on it). I've also had many occurrences of pacman just flat out not working, because of letting stuff that's i don't understand. When i do get an actual PC (i daily drive the steam deck because that's the only computer i have other than an old Windows 11 laptop that's to slow to use) i do plan on installing plain Arch Linux with either KDE Plasma or awesome installed on X11 (as it seems to be the most supported graphics system). On my new machine i would try to install most of my apps through pacman because of the annoying sandboxing on flatpaks that messes with the filesystem in say VSCode where the terminal there isn't the actual system terminal and instead a sandboxed one, although the sandboxing shouldn't be too much of an issue for more regular users.

[@hudsonator7259]

Oh god I wrote a lot

[@SpatchyIsOnline]

As I mentioned in a reply to another comment, I chose Steam OS because it's got all of Valve's proton tools set up out of the box which is probably more attractive to inexperienced users. HoloISO has the whole immutable filesystem thing disabled, so updates don't remove any packages.

[@mangodoor408]

@@SpatchyIsOnline That's fair. Though it is worth pointing out that Proton comes with Steam, which is usually installable with just a few clicks on most distros.

For some time, Linux may be a weird and challenging experience, but after a few years, when you get to know the ecosystem, apps, resolve hardware problems, customize the hell out of your system, then go back to Windows, for example for work, it feels odd, out of place, clunky, primitive, suboptimal. Everything you knew how to make on Linux easily, you need to find new ways on Windows, often times it doesn't work as well, or you need to install some paid app, that is worse than free Linux alternative... Yes, Linux has its own share of problems, but once you find your way around them, you start to forget about them and the experience of using Linux becomes pleasant and satisfying. And oh, please remember to back up your system and learn how to restore backups. It's a very important step, at least on usual Arch based systems. On Holo OS it's a different story, but still, better be safe.

Linux, you have full control of everything you have on there, hell, even Microsoft use Linux to make Windows lol. Over the years, Linux slowly brought work arounds to get things to run, mainly because DirectX and a lot of fonts Microsoft have a copyright to, and thats the main reason why most games wouldn`t run on Linux, but Steam have been fantaststic for the Linux comunity, the reason is Steam Deck, it runs with Linux, and within months more and more games became Linux friendly using a program called Proton that lets you run games without DirectX. Ive not tried it myself because I use Linux Mint, but Steam OS is there all setup for steam games just to run. Microsoft snoop on everything you do, it slows connection speed and they sell the information, that is not done with Linux and most games run faster for me on Linux than they do on Windows. Dont get me wrong, I have my Windows key (fully legal) but if I had 2 computers, 1 with Windows and 1 with Linux, Id opt for Linux every time, Its safer as long as you only install legit Linux software, its way way faster to install. Everyone has their personal preferance, but I only have an OS to run the programs im interested in and Linux Mint does that for me in a faster, safer way. For thoes that dont know, Linux used to be Shell/CLI to install, but 90% of things now install like windows, If you worried Id start with Ubuntu or mint, as they are close to the way windows works, not identical but close, and there is a lot of infomation on sites like youtube for Ubuntu/Mint.

@@SpatchyIsOnline yeah you lost me dude. You didnt even bother to delve into how it works. And then proceeded to shit on it then talk shit to your commentors? what a joke of a channel

[@SpatchyIsOnline]

@tronscrolls I made a video about Steam OS because I wanted to make a video about Steam OS, and I tried to present it in a way that would be digestible for the average PC user. If you want to make a deep dive into Lutris, no one's stopping you. I certainly didn't shit on it, I expressed my frustrations with the number of steps needed to get one game to work, which just so happened to be the one game I wanted to play. For the record, I don't want to "talk shit to my commenters" as you put it, but if you talk to me with the attitude of an angry twitter user instead of a mature adult, you can expect a sarcastic response. Thanks for your comments though, they all help boost my video in the algorithm 😉
