Odd that SteamOS only show up in the Linux only view.

I wonder where my Steam on Fedora 42 KDE lands

Now I wish we could permanently move from Android for all Android devices to something like lineage.

There are phone vendors like murena (not a manufacturer i think) who have some privacy OS preinstalled so you dont have a rooted phone that gets blocked for "privacy concerns"

If you are unsure if the apps you need work you can install waydroid on linux

I run Mint Cinnamon on a machine in my room for media. But also run a Jellyfin server off a pop_os server. My partner has a laptop that she updated to Win 11 that has had Audio issues ever since. When I boot to a live disk (linux), no issues. I've tried so many fixes for her system and it appears her step mother is having the same issue on another Win 11 machine. I've been trying to find a way to ensure she can run all the games she likes on an OS without being a headache. The Sims (probably 2,3,4). Stardew Valley, and such. Steam I have had luck with, but The Sims seems to come from an EA app which I believe I can run through Lutris. I have been hesitant to move that laptop because I want to be sure all of her games will end up working without hours of configuration that may break when she mods something in the game and needs a reinstall of the game itself. Has anyone had any luck with the EA app? I figure if she's paid for the licenses, I would rather use them than torrenting it all.

Mint Cinnamon was what I figured I'd use for that laptop, but if someone has a better suggestion I'd like to hear it
