Any clue on what distros are causing the growth? First I've heard of all this.

  Can 2nd this one, I tried Mint and Slackware this year, just because of the Win11 app checker thing kept popping and reminding me that i don't want another few years worth of BS like that.

    I don't think that's what GP meant with their comment.

    It's a joke about people moving to Linux not because it's gotten any better but because Windows has been getting worse

  Professional developers use Steam Deck as their main machine? I have the wrong job it seems!

  Steam Deck is not a distro. SteamOS is.

Steam Deck + SteamOS is a catalyst in the making. You pretty much have to use Flatpak for application installation otherwise you risk your installs getting wiped out when Steam does a distro upgrade. You get a managed desktop experience with the setup. When you couple the Steam Deck with a good dock you have a great desktop computing experience.
