Steam os? Isn’t it nix?

It is. The current version found on the Steam Deck is based on Arch Linux.

And for non handhelds it provides 0 benefits over any other distro with Steam on it.

Yeah, but it’s Linux!

There’s definitely no reason to install it on anything other than a handheld or PC being used as a console, though. It’s not officially available anyway - only way to install the version found on the SD onto anything else right now is via Holo ISO.

Valve said it will be, but again, for non handhelds I don’t see it having any advantages over any other distro with Steam preinstalled.
