Looking soon to update my gaming rig. Asus Gryphon z97, i7-4790 32GB RAM, GTX 3060 (12GB!), and a couple of SSDs…
As Win 10 support is finally being ended by Microsoft, and the logic board can’t run the TPM2.0 (not even with a firmware update) the options appear to be SteamOS or continue to run unsupported Win 10…
The caveat for sticking with Win10 is that the PC is for gaming ONLY. No email, but some light browsing (youtube how-to videos mostly) and just going to the game-related sites and of course nexus mods.
If I do opt for the Steam OS will my GOG Galaxy run on it or will I just have to launch the games directly? Most of the titles I play (other than the Halo games and Forbidden West) are using the Galaxy app.
What GOG support will there be from SteamOS, if any?
Thanks to anyone that can help!
LOL! Sorry! Newbie nitwittery on the loose!
I’m actually an over four-decades long Apple user who’s main usage was graphics and music.
The PC was a former hackintosh running El Capitan and used for video production and Aperture… I bought it from the guy that built it and slapped Win 10 into it just to game on. (I did add the nVidia 3060…) Not really familiar with things outside of the Apple ecosystem, but I’m now fed up with the constant churn there and looking to expand into new territory.
I saw SteamOS mentioned and tucked it away in the back of my head and just remembered to ask about it earlier.
So now I know! You gotta ask somewhere no? So it might as well be here…
Am going to suss out the Bazzite and probably add it on a separate SSD - I have connectors for 3 drives in the PC and a Thunderbolt expansion card which may or may not work that is currently in a drawer with the USB 3 card…
Dual boot, (which I do use on my old MacPros) shouldn’t be a problem on the PC - I do that from the PC’s UEFI, amirite? - so I will keep the Windows install and just play with the Bazzite until I get comfy with it.
Thanks!
