    Yes, the only caveat to use it as a Linux PC is that it’s using an immutable distribution.

    That means that if the software you want to install exists as a flatpak then it’s great, otherwise you’ll need to tweak a little bit. You’ll have to turn your filesystem read/write and have apps installed this way be wiped at each SteamOS update.













  • It works great, except for wireless controllers. You can use them but expect a lot of disconnections, especially if you use multiple controllers at the same time.

    Note that it’s for the LED, the OLED supposedly has better bluetooth because it has a dedicated chip. But other than that you’d be paying more than a LCD despite not benefiting from its biggest improvements (screen and battery life).
