    Steam is a game distribution store, Steam machine and deck are console oriented machines.

    Linux as a whole has dominance in the server world, valve is touching the gaming side of desktop Linux. Desktop Linux is tiny compared to Windows. You are comparing it to a phone operating system in a world where they were two-ish, to a potential distro in a world where there are 12 or more, several of those widely used in servers.

    Be angry if you want but it’s not the same.
