Valve released another smaller update for Proton Experimental, the constantly changing compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux platforms like the Steam Deck with SteamOS.
I could potentially build a system with 2 GPU. That would be amazing.
Isn’t there like a hypervisor OS, where I could just run whatever whenever and attach whatever hardware to whichever? Then jump into that machine and use it ‘natively’? Or am I dreaming/overcomplicating? 😆
Also to be fair, I’m not ‘new’ to Linux. I feel comfortable enough there to get by. It’s more when I dig into drivers and what softwares/tools to use, everyone argues about which is better and it’s hard to sometimes know just what works.

Yeah that’s why I’d just pick one of the big ones, narrows the choice way down. Most smaller distros are just customised versions of the bigger ones anyways.
And yeah I don’t think that what you’re looking for really exists for a desktop, a virtual machine or dual boot is your best bet for now
There actually is a “hypervisor OS” called QubesOS, but it is not for the faint of heart. It’s not exactly difficult to set up or use for basic tasks, but stuff like passing through hardware is more on the advanced side of things. I wouldn’t personally recommend it unless you really enjoy tinkering or if you need max data isolation.
