How does BSD work, does it run all the programs Linux can run? Can I run Steam on it?

Depending on the particular BSD, yes and yes or yes and no. (FreeBSD has a Linux emulator in its kernel, which allows you to run Steam.)

Windows is still unbeaten for gaming though.

Beg to differ on that one. Performance for me has been better on Linux for a few years now. Last year when I bought a completely new PC, I just didn't even bother to move over my Windows drive. Literally no use for it. Any game that doesn't run on Linux isn't worth playing IMO, if I need to use Windows. The game might as well come with a Windows install at that point lol.

Hey, thanks for the info on BSD! ❤️
