Thats because its linux only in a technical sense
We're talking about software, what other senses are there? :D
Well for the user. Like the mum from the post won't go like "Oh wow the linux pc that is my steam deck can game"
They only experience steam OS as the console. Like when mum used to say you play "the nintendo" too much :D
Most people probably won't explore the desktop mode, but SteamOS is basically a full-on Linux distro.
Exactly!
How is it not Linux?
Most improvements on the Deck translate to all Linux distros. That's pretty good.
Good point, i didnt think about it that way
