An annoying downside to Fedora — Installing NVIDIA GPU drivers on Fedora still needs more steps than it should.

Given that most people in need of a "which distro to pick" article are going to be on Nvidia, that's reason enough to not pick Fedora.

Is there specific bug you're waiting on being solved?

Remote Play audio playing on the host even when you've turned off the "play audio on host" option remains super annoying.

Quoting: tpauGeforce below 20xx series... are stuck on 1.1.

That's also incorrect. Kepler supports 1.2. Maxwell and up supports 1.4.

Quoting: SkullVonBonesI would imagine that somewhere long the upward trajectory, that MS would've started to become a little worried, but seems they are just too pigheaded.

Microsoft were worried before there was even Steam, let alone Steam with a Linux user base to keep track of.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's going to be really worth while to rate a game's friendliness to SteamOS per se separately from how it plays with the Deck as hardware.

.

Valve have already done that:

They've also said that "Steam Machine Verified" and "Steam Frame Verified" ratings will show on those respective devices.

It is remarkable how Tim Sweeney has managed to completely reinvent himself: from an exceptionally skilled software developer in the late 90s to an Infinite Bad Takes Generator today.

It might not be the most powerful thing on the market, but neither is the Steam Deck, and yet this is the one that's getting all the attention, despite not being sold anywhere but on Steam digital store!

I have concerns about the Steam Machine hardware that I never had about the Deck hardware. The newer GPU architecture and the low res of the screen of the Deck were chosen to hit a specific performance target. The Steam Machine is going to be plugged into a 4K TV, and the components were picked to hit a specific price. I think the lack of RAM and lack of VRAM are going to hurt it from the off, and definitely in the medium term.
