SteamFork is a project to create an immutable Linux distribution that is as SteamOS like as possible without sacrificing device compatibility.
Features include:
- Full SteamOS UI/UX, including desktop mode.
- Minimal changes to SteamOS to preserve upstream compatibility.
- Power management optimizations ported from JustEnoughLinuxOS.
- Improved fan curves on supported devices.RGB off by default, will flash on low battery (on supported devices).
- Supports booting from removable media such as usb drives and micro sd cards (64GB minimum).

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
