Valve is making its SteamOS Linux distribution compatible with more desktop hardware, including Nvidia graphics, so you can build your own Steam Machine.

    Its not wierd to prefer kubuntu. I don’t prefer ubuntu or redhat its just that if your talk long time distros redhat and debian are some of the originals and ubuntu and such use them as a base like bazzite does with redhat. I say ubuntu because its the original and core canonical prodcut where as kubuntu is a variation. Your preferences were not wierd to me just the examples for someone worried about linux things not having a long enough and active enough history included an original, long term, core distro and then a more modern one that is downstream a core one. So it was a bit disparate.

      Oh they were looking for long term companies like Valve. So I suggested 2 companies.

      Steam being an actual company behind a distro gives at least an impression of support stability because they have a economical incentive to kind of keep it going.

      SteamOS is not a long term distro yet (especially considering v1 is not the same distro even though it has the same name)

        Oh I can see using ubuntu over debian then. Still I would have went suse with redhat as they were really the two big enterprise ones. suse was actually the first linux in the aughts were a guy at my workplace through it on a laptop and basically everything worked. I mean it needed more specific drivers to be at its best but it was functional out the gate which was a big deal then.
