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)

I wasn't sure how much of what you would normally do on your computer you were doing on the steamdeck, if it wasn't a lot you might not have experienced whatever problems you would otherwise encounter on linux. But I really don't know.

    I suppose a lot more info is needed for a more personalized suggestion.

    I play videogames but mostly older ones because my hardware is old and i don't care much about newer stuff. I have an AMD cpu and a 1050ti video card. I like that i can use steam to add things like a launcher for windows games and have it mostly work just fine installing and running games through proton.

    Other than gaming i like to tinker with physical microcontrollers like a raspberry pi pico (not the ones that run an OS, yet)
