Thanks for the tip but I don't need my OS to look like another, I'm perfectly happy with the official RPi Debian-based OS on it :)
Btw one thing that sticks out in twister OS is that it runs Steam preinstalled. Not many OS can't do that on raspberry pi 4 - yet. But there are limits of course for using steam that stem from hardware. But for myself it would be interesting what it can do and what steam games really work in it. Of course 2 desktop enviroments(windows, MacOS) is not a good solution for some users and can be a very irritating thing. But this project I'll keeping an eye on and when I buy my own raspberry pi 4 maybe then I give it a try...:smile:

Ok. I understand it. I didn't mean you should install or try it. I just mentioned it for the common knowledge also. It's a good thing to know that this kind of alternative exists:)

Nice.Development for Lutris is astounding. And Wine also. Maybe soon I can ditch windows 10 from my main rig and give it a new good life using Linux. What I use right now is my secondary rig and OS is well you know it. But nevertheless hearing these news are a good start for a day.:smile:

Great news!It will be very interesting in the future to see will the dog(Windows 10) wag his tail(Linux) or the other way around so to speak.I believe that the latter option(Linux) prevails:whistle:

Hey someone should make an article about TwisterOS here especially when it supports steam. At least I would be very grateful...:smile:

TwisterOS comes with Steam installed on the OS for the RPI4 and can install and run many older and current 2D PC games today. It is really cool
Looks very interesting this TwisterOS.I will give it a try when I buy my own raspberry Pi 4 device. I have been hoping for a chance to use steam in rasp.Great. Thanks for the info!:smile:
