  • It’s mostly just ArchLinux with preinstalled steam, booting into “big picture” ui. You can do the same thing as with any linux distro. Nearly all non competitive games from steam should work ootb.

    The important part is a lot of people don’t really care about operating systems, a big part of home usage of windows comes from being preinstalled on a lot of laptops. People just switch on their new computer and use it, if the preinstalled os is good enough they don’t search for replacement. This is consumer device from a well known manufacturer. Before this other similar devices had to use windows, as Valve didn’t have installers for steam os, didn’t supported third party devices.

    As the usage of linux grows with this, more (game) developers would choose to also develop for linux or at least make sure their programs run fine with wine.
