Calling a Linux distro Gnu/Linux today is wrong because the actual Gnu code running is such a small part of everything.
SteamOS uses Linux as much as Linux distros like Fedora and Arch and other Linux based systems like Android.
A lot of gamers are also FOSS folks although not as hardcore as RMS.
- pjmlp 1y agoNot at all, it makes a point, ChromeOS, WebOS, Android, are also based on the Linux kernel and hardly considered Linux distributions for everyday use, in a way similar to GNU/Linux expectations. How little do game studios care to port their titles from Android/NDK into SteamOS, even though both are "Linux".
- tuna74 1y agoAndroid and iOS games are usually not interesting for SteamOS gamers. What really makes ChromeOS different from Ubuntu except it is not developed in the open?

- rpdillon 1y agoYou have a misunderstanding. SteamOS is essentially Arch Linux. Edit: Misunderstanding is mine. I think you guys are discussing something else. I was trying to assert that SteamOS is GNU/Linux, unlike the others.
