Steam App in Linux Lite vs. Steam OS: advantages / disadvantages?
#1
I'm not a great gamer (Supertuxkart is about as far as I go), but my 13-year-old son is.  He's a great fan of Steam, though uses the Steam app  from the Ubuntu repository on LL3.8.

However, a while ago, I came accross a distro called Steam OS on the Distrowatch website.  It made me wonder whether Steam OS gives any advantages over the Steam app, for those besotted with gaming  :o

Would it be worth dual-booting Steam OS with LL?

As ever, I'm Interested to hear your opinions and experiences ...
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
