Other OS possible ?

[Blauhasenpopo]

Is it possible to install other Os, such as Fedora or Mint ?

I don't see why not. It's just a computer. It's not like Valve has the thing locked to a particular OS

But has it a "bootloader"....do i have to delete the Ubuntu or could i dualboot with Ubuntu?

It doesn't run Ubuntu.. SteamOS is now based on Arch.

Going by the Windows support, AFAIK currently officially only single boot is supported and drivers might be an issue as they don't seem to be 'off the shelf'.

Although I do wonder if someone could potentially unofficially be done by replacing/modifying the bootloader.

No. It's KDE, but still Arch.

Cinnamon is nice but KDE Plasma is good enough that I don't think it's worth replacing.

Yeah...maybe...it's more a "playing around with the Deck" Thingy...you know.

It's used to be "open" so....i wonder what we (I) can/could do with the Deck...and other OSes are quite nice to play around with

I agree, I always end up spending more time tinkering than actually playing games.
