That thing was a price to performance beast back then

Tough boy

Or passthrough the VM a USB-DAC, no audio in Linux then though

So does it not happen on X11?

Other than that, i have to clean my scrollwheel sensor once in a while, not because i’m disgusting, but because my current mouse has this issue, otherwise i get a similar experience as yours

Not the Debian edition

LTS distros and extremely delayed packages can give you problems for sure, the components used for gaming are very fast moving pieces fixing latest issues constantly.

While SteamOS is Arch based, i don’t think they really use it the Arch way. It’s run as an image based immutable OS, so they control the packages and not run at the bleeding edge.

You might run into problems more likely than SteamOS will.

Although i didnt’t have problems gaming on Arch, it’s not the same

Isn’t Vanguard requiring secure-boot and TPM enabled?

That check is actually worthless and wouldn’t succeed otherwise, or are they not require it on Windows 10

It’s essentially MicroOS, but built on Leap and not Tumbleweed, which is more bleeding-edge.
