SteamOS is just Arch. You can use it for anything you could use Arch for. The fact that people elect to mainly use it for gaming doesn't really mean that's all

SteamOS is just Arch. You can use it for anything you could use Arch for. The fact that people elect to mainly use it for gaming doesn't really mean that's all it's designed for. I also have a gaming PC that runs Windows 11 and I never use it for anything other than gaming. Doesn't mean it couldn't be used for other things.
- LeoPanthera 3y ago> SteamOS is just Arch. That's technically true, but oversimplified enough to be misleading. SteamOS boots from a read-only OS partition from which you can change nothing. You can only write to your "home folder", and you can only add new software using Flatpak, or Steam itself.
