Does steam run as well on other distros (Ubuntu, Pop, etc) as well as on SteamOS? (lemmy.ca)

*Like how much optimization did they do in SteamOS vs Linux in general?

Is SteamOS minimal changes just so it boots directly into the store and run everything full screen by default, or did they make deeper changes?

I'm running it on NixOS. The Steam Deck experience is significantly more rich in terms of features like overlays etc. but the games play just as well on my NixOS desktop. In fact Proton etc. is so good atm there's no point in having Windows. Only game I know that doesn't work is Fortnite, and luckily that's not a genre I enjoy.

I've found for whatever reason cuphead won't run on my NixOS pc but runs perfectly on deck

Otherwise just as flawless
