The differentiation of the Steam Deck is the game ecosystem, ability to play your existing PC game library on the go, and low game costs compared to consoles during the frequent sales. I don't think Linux is a differentiator for the Steam Deck. It's obviously essential as a technical foundation though, similar to how it’s essential to Android phones. But locking it down with DRM won't affect gamer interest in the platform as long as the games are still cheap, plentiful, and run well.
