I'm just glad that I'm not the only one running steam on Debian.
Yeah arch! We are legion!
I take it, you use arch?
BTW
I love to see it.
Each time I see posts like this, I hope to see adobe announce they are making linux versions of their software. Whether you like it or not, a lot of people do not switch because of adobe.

God I wish someone would port AHK to linux. I literally depend on it to make software accessible.

Nice, I'm part of that .05% Debian 12 crowd.
We’re doing our part!
I finally made the switch recently. Been dual booting for a while. I use arch on my laptop for fun and Linux Mint Debian Edition on my desktop for stability.

#YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP
Signed out of windows and into Mint when steam went to ask this time, the last 2 I said "sure" while playing cod on windows so it wasn't tracking me
So I'm now doing my part
Odd that SteamOS only show up in the Linux only view.

Nice.
I run Mint Cinnamon on a machine in my room for media. But also run a Jellyfin server off a pop_os server. My partner has a laptop that she updated to Win 11 that has had Audio issues ever since. When I boot to a live disk (linux), no issues. I've tried so many fixes for her system and it appears her step mother is having the same issue on another Win 11 machine. I've been trying to find a way to ensure she can run all the games she likes on an OS without being a headache. The Sims (probably 2,3,4). Stardew Valley, and such. Steam I have had luck with, but The Sims seems to come from an EA app which I believe I can run through Lutris. I have been hesitant to move that laptop because I want to be sure all of her games will end up working without hours of configuration that may break when she mods something in the game and needs a reinstall of the game itself. Has anyone had any luck with the EA app? I figure if she's paid for the licenses, I would rather use them than torrenting it all.
Mint Cinnamon was what I figured I'd use for that laptop, but if someone has a better suggestion I'd like to hear it
