I want to get some experience with Linux before win 10 goes end of support. I won’t be using this machine for work. Gaming primarily but also 3d printing and possibly some light piracy. Is there any reason not to install steam os?

Thanks in advance kind and wise nerds in my phone.

    It’s not “the core”. It’s simply an outdated distro that’s not used nor maintained anymore. It was used for the Steam Machines, their attempt at a console-like PC, which failed to garner enough interest. Current Steam Deck’s Steam OS is a completely different system and has nothing to do with this one.

      yeah I was not using core in any official way just to mean what it was based on. I had no idea it was so abandoned.

        That’s what we’re trying to tell you. It’s not based on that at all.

          I don’t know any other ways to reiterate. my bad. I get what your saying and again I did not use core to mean anything more than the distro was based on which you already pointed out. Let me make it very clear. In this discourse you have won the internet this day. I learned something.
