I did this for about a year on a Steam Deck after my desktop broke down, though with the caveat that I still had my Manjaro laptop as a fallback as well. Had to write some scripts to reinstall packages after updates (since system is supposed to be read-only by default) which wasn’t very fun, but it worked well enough for a while. Only reason I moved on was to get a better gaming rig for Baldur’s Gate 3.

EndeavorOS with KDE is basically steamOS without restrictions. I’ve been running it fine for years.

Try it, the worst thing that can happen is you waste a few hours, get mad, break your PC, and get a brain aneurysm

break your pc

If you’re able to get steamos installed on a regular PC, it’s still gonna be immutable by default

Shareni ,

It’s not going to stay immutable for long when OP takes a bat to it

I mean sure you can but if you can use something else then you probably should.

Is steam OS not just flavored Debian?

furzegulo ,

it’s arch based, though immutable as i understand

nous ,

The core is immutable, but it comes with flatpak which writes to a writeable location so you can install and update applications independently of OS updates without having them wiped after an upgrade. You can also install and use tools like distrobox to give you container environments that you can install and change as much as you like as well.

xylogx OP ,

Not anymore according to Wikipedia:

SteamOS, version 3.0. This new version is based upon Arch Linux with the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment

Baahb ,

Iff all the apps you’d want are already containerized into the system used in steamos why not. As furzegulo pointed out, it’s immutable
