@coliver In all fairness, Steam was terrible when it first launched, and it's excellent now. But as of yet, there are zero advantages of using SteamOS. Running the version of Debian that it's based on would work much better in every way. Less stuff running to clog your system, better game support, and of course, support for plugins. I had to OC my CPU to almost 4.4 Ghz to get it to run properly. The tasks that are the only reason it exists, are done faster and more efficiently on any other platform. I would honestly recommend Ubuntu more for a console replacement at this point, but we can hope SteamOS gets better.
