I think the "Ubuntu Core 22" means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.
If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses
core22as its base.This makes a lot of sense
using snap?
Glad to see it's popularity is waning. Snap is the inferior universal package by many metrics and the steam snap in particular is very not ready for prime time.
Nobody can stop me from gaming on my smart toilet (it's smarter than me)
Whatcha playing? Flappy Turd?
Well played

toilet simulator - to experience what's like to not be constipated.

That's not saying much, is it?
One of the last conversations I had on Reddit was with a guy complaining about how crap Linux is, that he installed Ubuntu and the desktop didn't even work, it went straight to a terminal, and after some prodding he said that he couldn't even get APT to work, and it hit me: "You didn't install Ubuntu Core, their embedded OS version, did you?" No response.
Minimal install for maximum frames
Yep, less overheads! This is the way.
I mean, I can kinda see it being useful for people wanting to sell a wee box that does nothing but launch a game on steam.
Useful for servers
Why is arch at the top tho? Apparently Steam OS is its own point, are those the Steam OS clones also based on Arch? Or maybe, people just accepted the superiority of Arch (/s)
The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they'd be much higher than Arch.
I've seen arch gain a lot of popularity lately, at least in my circles.
I changed friends to mainly the ones here on lemmy, specifically the german communities, and I was surprised that there's an actual kinda cult here, just by the germans/ich_iel'ers, with it's own community, and also a lot of members in Matrix. So I didn't really see people switch to arch, but rather I changed friends to the much more nerdy type where arch is more common.

I don't use Arch Linux, I use "Arch Linux". Completely different, btw.
it's just how you signal you're using the correct amount of nasal upturn when mentioning "Arch Linux."
I have fedora server edition set up headless primarily to host docker containers and have a noVNC headless steam streaming container on it, does that count?
Funny words magic man.
How well is that working for you? This setup in particular, but also streaming steam games in general?
It works but the native steam streaming is better, I would recommend a full os with steam running on it and just put the containers on that, you will save a lot of headaches the only real benefit of what I have is you don’t have to run the desktop itself unless you’re using it, since I don’t actually use it much It is fine for my very specific use case.
See that Pop!_OS? It me.
Indeed, looking forward to gaming on PopOS Cosmic beta next year
Why am I imagining an internet connected fridge that has a common exploit and people getting into them just to play doom on them or some shit?
Sounds like something Bringus Studios would do
💯😂 Sadly I imagine it's probably a sub-distro like Mint or Pop erroneously coming up as the Ubuntu it forks off, not an army of Bringi out there, but you never know...
it might be a emulator. such as exagear. which only need a minimal linux environment to proot into. and all gui are done by wine
I just noticed how that Arch is in quotes and "64 bit" was added. Does anyone use 32 Bit Arch for gaming? Is it even possible to run Steam on that?
And why not go with:
Arch Linux (rolling-release) 64 bit
this seems wrong.

I wonder if someone is using it to run a remote play server? I've thought about doing that a couple times.
There is a steam link app for Linux people are running it on the raspberry pi.
sudo apt install steamlink
One of 8.22% 🥰
Kinda surprised Fedora isn't there.
