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!
Firstly if you’re looking to upgrade your system and switch to Linux, I would recommend switching to team Red. For a variety of reasons really but generally they are a better value and also will just work better with Linux.
GOG games can be run on SteamOS and SteamOS-like distros through Heroic and Lutris. Though YMMV. You’re going to have a much better time playing games on Steam.
Valve is not going to give you support for GOG but Linux is a community-driven project and probably the vast majority of Linux users are going to want to run games from other stores.
