From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think the reason why is its a powerful computer and if they dont already have a good computer, why not make this their main PC? It would be cheaper to buy a dock, monitor, keyboard and mouse (under $200), than buy another device with the same specs.

This is why I said fair enough to if it's on an existing steam deck, I'm absolutely for that as it was designed specifically for that hardware

I do think it's a bit dumb to put steamos on something other than a steam deck though
