      No, it’s based on arch. There’s a bunch of polish on top of it that makes it more stable and such

      Yeah I don’t see any need for desktop use, except for making a Steam console under your TV.

      You can use Steam with Proton on whatever distro you want.

      It’s built on top of Arch. The distro I’m using is Garuda, which is also built on Arch, and there’s a gaming version that includes everything you need to play games immediately. No one should use SteamOS probably for a desktop. They should use something like Garuda. SteamOS is for a console-like experience.
