As much as I enjoy PC gaming, I also appreciate the turnkey experience of console gaming, especially with kids.
SteamOS (or similar) gives you the same "turnkey gaming" experience.
as much as i appreciate the convenience, it’s far from 1:1
How so?
launch tweaks, protonup-qt, decky plugins, the list goes on. there’s a number of things you need to understand before you can have a truely seamless experience on steamos in the same way you can on a bespoke console.
Who told you that? You don't need any of that. All you do is log in and click play.
