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.

Do you know how mature it is as a desktop OS? I saw the official FAQ does recommend against using it as such. I tried it on a HTPC a few years ago but at that point it didn't seem very usable outside of Steam's full screen UI.
There was some news about an updated one coming out soon for desktop. There was someone though on reddit that had put it on a pc, but of course still had some issues.
Don’t try to use it, it’s an old discontinued version of SteamOS based on Debian that was around long before the Steam Deck.
Bazzite will get you a similar experience to the current Steam OS with better desktop experience.
