> I wish Valve would have been more successful with Steam OS
I think Valve has done an outstanding job, unfortunately, other game studios and controller manufacturers don't seem to care.
For example Logitech gaming wheels don't support linux. Although there are pretty good reverse engineered drivers, last time I tried, force feedback support was hard to get configured and didn't work as well in games such as Euro Truck and American Truck, which have linux versions.
Now, like the OP, I had encounters with windows 10 forced updates: I stream on twitch and I recall at least one time where, from my viewers point of view, my stream abruptly terminated. Turns out Windows 10 decided to update itself locking my computer for at least 1 hr.
