Any other OS that is distributing Steam is doing so at their own risk. > It would run som form of modified Linux kernel or other free OS, but it wouldn't be "desktop Linux" with X11, kde/gnome etc. Well, one, you need some kind of display server. Android, Windows, and even the consoles have one. Wayland is replacing X11 because its a slow bloated piece of shit, but even then if you wanted a "gaming OS" you would end up using Linux kernel + drivers + Wayland + EGL instead. And that is fine, its a full software stack with nothing else tacked on. And I honestly have no idea why Valve includes Gnome on the release images of SteamOS. Nothing stops you from having X just run Steam directly, with no other programs or desktops or anything. You can already do that yourself.
