  • Value is personal, I for one want a game, I dont want a bloated web browser that only connects through steam, which is what the steam client is. All the thing I need steam to do I can do and I can do it in a more agnostic way and less bloated. I use wayland therefore steam does not run without xwayland support enabled and even when enabled I can't stream my desktop over steam remote.

    • Can't use remote play and have an open source implementation that has fine tuning controls.
    • Installing mods through third party tools or manually is easy enough and allows for multiple distributors.
    • Dont use vr and even so its a closed ecosystem.
    • More than happy to visit steam in my own browser to buy and download games if that was possible.
    • Dont care for skins, cards, or any of the inventory system.
    • I talk to friends through open source solutions.

    If you do however want a streaming, mod manager, vr, forum, store front, download manager, DRM and much more in one bloated application then yes the value proposition is there.

    I highly value diy solutions in software, you on the other hand may not. And this is fine. GOG offers more to me than to you as steam offers less for me than for you.

  • cheers, hyperland/wayfire anything extensible and wayland based was to be my next project, havent really looked deep into it though. any key feature hyperland doesnt support that swayfx does or vice versa?

  • all of the things you have listed are things we as individuals can and have implemented without steam, theyre pretty good like adding code to wine and pushing linux to the larger audience and i myself have been on steam for 11 years with 320 games, but integrated modding? i mean we had mod managers before steams implementation.

    game streaming we have moonlite and shunshine > for amd hosts, and theres more.

    input remapping can be done through standalone applications i use sc-controller for remapping my steam controller.

    id say steams vr client is more of a negative than a positive, leads to segmentation and issues with device support when we should of focused on a wide approach to vr. like what google did with android, funded a free and open eco-system>(less so now)

    steam sells accessibility and DRM, personally i see this as a bad thing. force people to become dependent. and while gog isnt natively on linux there are work around like downloading from gog.com or installing heroic games launcher.

  • The eco system is frustrating, as soon as i see "plasma" or "k" as the first letter of a package name I can be sure that it'll have 20 other packages as dependencies, about half of the 20 are full featured gui applications

  • Depends on the person, I didn't get on well with many distros, I like tinkering, arch afforded me that.

    Some people are happy jumping in the deepend and having converter distros may alienate some new users.

  • Not sure to be honest, my experience with MX and Debian are limited, I like how MX looks, had no issues using in in the small amount of time I had used MX linux and I'm a sucker for good theming

  • You sound like you'd be pretty capable, I personally use arch, less perceived limitations. Endeavour is the better choice between endeavour and manjaro.

    MX if you just want a os with beautiful theming.

    Either way good luck.
