I wish Valve made a desktop version of their SteamOS, I find it to be way more intuitive than Windows; I also love the way you can update software/drivers just by typing it into the search bar and automatically being able to download the app/driver from the search bar. It blew my mind that Linux had that kind of functionality.
Plus, with majority of worthwhile games running on SteamOS, I have no need for Windows on a pure gaming rig. The problem is that SteamOS doesn't play nice with Nvidia drivers -- so until they get that sorted, it makes Linux a bit more cumbersome to use for certain games.

I seriously annoyed that they haven't already done this. Microsoft really needs a real competitor, because Apple is just overpriced trash for hipsters and faggots.
by the way, the only reason you need a dedicated PC is because ChimeraOS reformats the existing hard drive during the setup process. you could in theory set up another OS on another hard drive after the fact, but if you're already using one pc for everything... it's not the best choice.
Ah, most of the games on my gaming rig are on external drives, with a few big games on a a dedicated M2 drive. I don't have any games on the C:, just some downloaded stuff, user folder, and Windows -- I'm assuming it's the C: that gets formatted?
Also, do you know if Nvidia drivers are supported in ChimeraOS?

ChimeraOS is pretty good if you have a dedicated gaming PC... it's basically steamOS plus some emulators
Ah really? I need to look into that, thanks for the heads-up!
you're welcome =) glad I could help.
