That is exactly why Chromebooks were (are?) so popular. You got a cheap laptop with an easy-to-use OS without having to do any install. And let’s be real here, most people don’t need anything more than a web browser.

Go for Bazzite. It’s basically Steam OS but with extra stuff that makes it “just work”, even on an Nvidia GPU.

Once Valve releases their official Steam OS, you can always switch to it.

But a forum post said it would fix my issue.

So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.
