  • SteamOS 3 is only available for Steam Deck at the moment (or other handhelds in the near future). There is no desktop version for it yet. SteamOS 1 is over a decade old and not usable anymore.

    Good luck with Mint or Bazzite! Either should serve you well.

    I would suggest Linux Mint over Ubuntu. It’s beginner friendly, very stable and overall a very good choice for any purpose. It’s based on Ubuntu so most of the stuff you find online applies to it as well. The APT package repository contains most if not all the software you might need.

    Down the line almost every distro will be suitable for gaming.

    I’ve had a server running without whitelist because a friend hadn’t bought the game yet, within 2 weeks it was griefed. It was just the two of us playing.

    There are crawler bots just searching for unprotected Minecraft servers and it’s just a matter of time before they find yours.

    It’s a shame the server lacks a pretty basic feature such as password protection.


  • The biggest thing is that you won’t know how long you will be able to play it. At some point they’ll stop updating the app, a new Android version will be released that’s not compatible with the app, or they will take down the server that the app relies on etc. It could be years, a decade, but at some point it’ll be either really hard or impossible to play anymore.
