    What would be the advantage of installing it on a laptop? Can’t you just run steam on Ubuntu or whatever and use Big Picture mode?

      Personally I can’t run steam and a game on a my laptops. They’re good enough to run games like subnautica and stalker on wine but steam requires like 1gb of RAM and runs like shit.

      Edit: on older Ubuntu lts versions, not 24

        Hm so SteamOS uses less resources that the steam app? I assumed SteamOS was just a streamlined way to run Steam?
