I was forced into using SteamOS because my puter broked. Can i just install it on my desktop after it's fixed? Can i make a regular Linux as plug-and-play as steamos? (hexbear.net)

Most modern popular distros are as plug-and-play as the latest version of Windows.

I can guarantee that you don't need to do registry fuckery just to disable the default browser.

    If you can remove microsoft out of windows you can use Linux, of course there is some learning to do, some little things will be different but is not that complex.

    Bazzite is a good recommendation but I do recommend for you to search for any specific peripheral or hardware that you use to see if has any known problems. Like "logitech g305 bazzite". 99% of the time will just work but the 1% can be annoying to deal with.
