Does SteamOS support non game programs, such as text, audio, modeling, and whatever other esiting software people use?

[–] KaRunChiy@fedia.io 23 points 2 months ago

yes, it's just arch linux under the hood, and there's even a desktop mode which im pretty sure is kde

Yup, but to add on to what the other guy said you will have to find alternatives to some programs like adobe products, microsoft products, and some others.

Or run them in a Windows VM or potentially through WINE.

Yep. SteamOS has Flathub, which is a software repository (like software store) that has so many alternative of Windows software.
