    But why SteamOS?

    is it the only linux distro? What happened to Garuda, endeavour, mint, arch, opensuse, fedora, and all that?

    This whole SteamOS thing feels like its just a bunch of windows marketers trying to convince everyone that Linux dosent work

      I think it’s just because Steam is already a recognized and trusted brand. There’s many distros available but your average gamer will probably lean towards SteamOS even if it is not the best one.

      It’s because the public at large has no idea how Linux or distros work.

      Id personally have people using SteamOS than Windows, another thing is convincing people to use Linux is very difficult already.
