I would agree on most points regarding SteamOS except for package manager: there are really two on the system — base one and Steam itself.
Users generally only care about the latter.
- palata 1y agoLinux Desktop routinely has multiple package managers (for the better or worse): be it flatpak, pip, npm, nix... but it's still Linux Desktop. Just like you don't need to have the same libc to be a Linux Desktop.
- nemomarx 1y agoAt least some of the dedicated ones also want to run epic games or others through heroic, but that's only a little more Linux on top of steam yeah
- cma 1y agoI think it is fixed now, but for a while you couldn't even use the touchpads on the desktop without steam running.
