3 days agoIf your worry is that a corporation will report you for piracy, than you have a false dichotomy. Both SteamOS and especially modern Windows are both corpo controlled platforms. You’d be far better off running something like Bazzite off the handheld if the goal is to get away from closed-source systems. You also wouldn’t have to run things through Steam to get non-steam games working, there’s other options that would still allow you to use Proton as your compatibility layer.
just don’t use gamemode? If anything, I imagine gamemode would be a detriment to running things outside of Steam, which is the use-case OP is looking for.
