There kind of is though. I'm not here to argue it's enough to unseat windows but it is markedly different
From a technical standpoint it's just another linux distro with some nice tweaks for gaming but from a human perspective it has brand recognition, familiarity, a known company behind it. Those things do really matter for adoption. No idea if that'd be anywhere near enough, I'm not inclined to make predictions, but it does have explicit advantages over consumers hearing they can get a laptop with Ubuntu or fedora on it
Yeah I agree. I just don't wanna see more apps made exclusively for the steam deck with SteamOS and winderp. So I feel it's important to highlight it's just another Linux distro.
