My Laptop is a MSI Raider GE76 12UE, i have all my life using Windows, i´ve never used a different OS, but recently windows 11 hasn´t been sufficient, it eats a lot of CPU since a while, for example, sea of thieves used to eat between 8% and 15% with the graphs at the max level (legendary) but since the last windows patch, it eats between 15% and 24% and it fails a lot, there´s whole lapses of 3 minutes with only 10fps (that ironically it´s the lapse when eats a lot of CPU) i tried to use the lowes graphs level, use only 60 fps, updating the drivers, and it keeps failing, i deleted the game and reinstall it, this is only an example, another one is stardew valley, it´s failing like sea of thieves, but fails too, please gimme some tips, or tell me if i should move to steamOs

Steam os is for handheld pc's, it can be put on a pc with amd hardware specifically that's from the same generation as what the steam deck uses (from what i understand). If you want something similar there's bazzite os

Looking online this is an NVIDIA based laptop? Check out the Bazzite NVIDIA deck beta if you want a "SteamDeck/OS" experience, but assume bugs and manual tweaks. The desktop version of Bazzite with Nviida might work just fine.

please read the sidebar. Either wait for the official 3.0 release for generic PCs or try one of the other linux distributions. I recommend spending as much time as possible and if you run into a problem try another distro if you can't find a solution. Eventually you will find one that works for you and that you like.
Also make sure to give the different desktops a try, at least gnome and kde(plasma), if not xfce or even other ones. Generally it is recommended to read a lot of documentation for beginners.

Try something like Linux Mint or PopOS. you can install the Steam app on it and it's fast because Linux doesn't eat up resources like Windows.

Its either community modded Steamfork or that you keep Windows and install LMDE 6 Linux and Steam there, where for games that support Linux and with Radeon card you will have better experience of performance
