It shouldn't. A gaming focused OS will just come with all the necessary software and configurations for gaming, and not much else.
Chimera also adds a lot of the cool functionality from SteamOS like the in-game configuration options, Gamescope, and launching directly into the Steam Big Picture mode on boot so you don't need a keyboard or mouse.
This makes it sound like Big Picture is preferred.
Surely I'm not alone in my dislike for it, right?
Right???
Right.
It depends on what you want to do. In my case, my PC lives in the living room and runs on the TV like a console.
Unfortunately, unlike a console, I have to walk over and hit the power button and then switch the input (because for some reason GPUs still don't support HDMI-CEC) but after that, at no time do I need a keyboard or mouse for anything. Just power it up, sit down, and start gaming.
