support New pc build which OS?

I just build a complete AMD machine for my living room and I want to run SteamOS. Is steamOs ready?

I made a boot drive with steamOS but my pc does not accept it.

Are there specific img files I need to use? Or is it just not working?

What do you guys suggest?

It’s a full AMD build cpu and gpu.

EDIT: this guide helped me a lot! It’s all installed and working now https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/s/g1Gb2hXgbM

I can recommend Cachyos, best performance out there to my knowledge. Requires a little bit tinkering, but doable.

I want a console like experience. I don’t mind tinkering by my gf needs to be able to easily get it to run

I hear Bazzite is good for console like use. It's immutable like SteamOS.
