Caveat: I am not a gamer, or at least the games I play are decades old
and run fine on any Linux system.  So I've never had a need for
bleeding edge hardware or the OS to run on it.

I'm starting work on a class for TPL called "What is Linux," which may
or may not actually be completed or taught.  I know SteamOS is used on
Valve's hardware (I can read Wikipedia) ... but what about people who
want to run recent games but also want to move to Linux?  Do they
install SteamOS straight onto their hardware?  Can it support
LibreOffice and other "normal" stuff?  Or do they add some large
bundle of Steam software on top of their existing OS like Debian or
Cachy?

Because let's face it, gaming is the critical reason for not leaving
Windows for some people.  I'd like to be able to at least partially
address that issue.  As well as I know Linux, I'm pretty clueless
about gaming.



If I start to get traction on this presentation, I may ask for more
advice and/or reviewers.  The idea of crowd-sourcing the presentation
itself appeals.  :-)
