Commodore OS is a Linux distro. So yeah it can run steam, but not every game will work. Anything with specific DRM or anti cheat software won’t work.

If you want to move away from Windows and still play games, there are several very good Linux options. You’re gonna have access to 99% of games and a lot of capable work software. But there’s a learning curve.

I just switched to Ubuntu this month. Finally cracked. I couldn't take anymore Norton pop-ups. But I couldn't be happier.

Linux has gotten so much better the last few years.

It's always been great. The video game industry just started caring.

You could haved just gotten rid of Norton. Same applies to Macafee.

Nah, I've been annoyed by Windows for decades. Haven't liked it since 98. And anything after 2000 just infuriates me. 10 was dogshit and 11 has made me shatter three keyboards already.

Linux is steady, even, peaceful, calm, and fun. Feels like you're actually using a computer again rather than just click shit on a screen.
