Between normie and conservative, I'm waiting for SteamOS to become publicly available to even attempt switching to Linux.

I'm curious: what feature(s) of SteamOS are keeping you from trying/switching to Linux?

If it's Proton, you get that for free with any Steam install on Linux. I've been using it for the last couple years. (And it's awesome)

As for me - can't play Fortnite on Proton/SteamOS

Yeah, multiplayer games with kernel-level anti-cheat are gonna be real hard to support on Linux. I don't know that we'll ever have a good solution to that.

If true, that would be awesome if a new SteamOS became a Linux on-ramp (Debian base didn’t quite pan out).

Try out EndeavourOS. It's based on Arch (Like SteamOS) and I have had no trouble with gaming so far.
