I don't like containerisation because it leads to bullshit like atomic distros. I don't want a spicy Android.
Steam OS has some cool elements like the menu, the in-game side panels and the game mode/desktop dichotomy, but incremental rolling release is utterly deranged from my POV as an Arch user (btw).
If stability is deranged then yes.
As someone having used Arch, stuff does break at times and Valve can't link a Wiki link with the fixes
Say Plasma "breaks" - a wiki will not help fast enough.
I'm not trying to defend rolling release for a gaming console, but give me at least the option to decide for myself whether I'm ok with breakage or not. There is this kernelspace NT driver that I wanted to try, but I couldn't because pacman is locked.
