- pjerem 3y agoTo be fair, SteamOS is just a barely customized Arch Linux. All the UX work is being done in the steam client itself and is not exclusive to the Steam Deck. In fact, the SteamOS ui is now available 1:1 in the good old PC Steam client, replacing the old Big Picture mode. The only thing that doesn’t comes directly with Steam is Gamescope (but you can install it yourself easily). Other than that, the SteamOS is just an Arch Linux with Steam installed, KDE and a Steam wallpaper.

That is a good example of "dumbification" of the UI in order to make things cheaper. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/3/3710433479223428841/ https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussion...
