That is what the SteamDeck uses. They just recently added support for the Legion GO S as the first 3rd party device with SteamOS 3.

They did say they intend to release it as a generally available OS at some point but there is no release date and that is operating on “valve time”. So I wouldn’t hold your breath for a desktop release for it in the near future; but it’s likely still progressing as they’ve been making regular updates for it on SteamDeck for 3+ years now.

https://bazzite.gg/ is basically the same thing.

Or just take any of the normal distros and set up the Steam and Proton components yourself if you prefer mutable root.

Not exactly. Mods generally work fine, but it's annoying having to go though the 'add as a non steam game' menu to run mod packages.

The Plasma desktop could use a plugin where you could just right click an .exe and tell it to run through proton and treat the z:\ games folder like windows c:\

I've installed it on the Steam Deck and it appears to be working
I ran the installer as a non steam game with proton enabled and routed to my game path in virtual Z: drive
Then I added the newly added dlls with protontricks which you can install from the app center Discover
Ninja Gaiden>Default Prefix>Winecfg>Libraries then type the dll name in click add and apply and now it should load them.

This launch option should also do the same thing in Steam, if you install anything that requires more add a comma after d3d11.dll and type the new one in
Properties --> Set Launch Options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11.dll=n,b" %command%

Quite a headache, but works beautifully.

Also, the missing esc, ctrl and alt keys on the popup keyboard is a pain in the ass if you need to edit a text config file. Who the heck decided a dedicated emoji menu key was needed, but they weren't?

It’s nothing different than any other Linux OS. You can get better results just switching to Linux Mint or Pop!_OS or Bazzite.

Mod support is fine, there's just not enough launcher support yet, but nexusmods is working on a community driven launcher as an alternative to Vortex that works on Linux, it just only supports Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077 currently

If you play Bethesda titles, there are forks of MO2 which work perfectly fine with Fallout and Skyrim. There's also r2modman for games that have mods on the Thunderstore.

Faugus Launcher does this. You directly run an .exe file with it and it'll run it through Proton.

When AMD has a global monopoly, they can demand a slowdown in processor development. This way, Steam can focus on hardware it can work on. (New Steam Machines)

Yes. Thank you. Also, protontricks simplifies it as well.

I hope they do more specially with the Lenovo Go S running steam OS. I’ve been trying to run my single player games from my Amazon account and GOG without any success. Some will start but crash right after…

we got it until it leaks!!!

jokingly!!!

:-D

...lets wait...forever :-/

Mods work perfectly fine, but it's easiest to install them the old fashioned way. People have grown very comfortable and reliant on mod managers like Vortex[www.nexusmods.com], which are typically Windows applications.
The successor to Vortex, the Nexus Mods App[nexus-mods.github.io] is currently in the works and will have native Linux support. You can also try other solutions like the Limo Mod Manager[github.com], though it's not quite as robust and dummy-proof as Vortex.
