Does it also pull support for old Linux distributions?
Steam has only ever supported the latest Ubuntu LTS and Steam OS.
It still works the same on any distro with SystemD. Side note, I have seen people getting Steam to work on Void and Artix.
I use Steam and I run Alpine
That's pretty cool. Do you have a potato computer or do you just like a minimal system?
I have a minimal system on my Thinkpad T440p
Nice, I have a T420 myself. I love that machine. I was running Peppermint OS for a while. Until version 11, Hasn't been the same since 10. The update from 10 to 11 kind of took all the magic out of it for me. Now that machine runs EndeavourOS.
Just use Windows 10 or Linux
lol win 7 probably still can run more games than Linux
Linux can slightly run more tho,since windows 7 is eol.
Plenty of alternative stores that don't require a launcher, so still possible to sideload games and therefore, 7 and 8 are not quite dead yet. (side note, but Vista is still also a decent system for gaming)
