I would have loved SteamOS to be a general purpose Linux OS with Steam preinstalled instead of the... thing it actually was.

- celticmusic 7y agoIf the experience had been seamless I think it would have taken off. But it wasn't, mostly due to the games. Many of them would require emulating a mouse just to get into the game, which meant emulating a desktop. Then the game would start and it would switch over to the controller mode. Many games just didn't work well under it, and so forth.
