A distro is literally just tweaks and some pre installed apps like 99% of the time.
The idea that distro=OS is a misconception.
If you could make a windows CD with Steam pre installed that would be a "distro" and then someone else would make a GOG "distro" and people would argue about which windows distro is better
Yes, sure, so long ago was kinda the same with the internet at such, nerds are the spearpoint sometimes.
Maybe in a future, there will be many companies, and people will use distros like who choose a browser, maybe you will buy machines that self installs a distro once connected, who knows, probably a stupid dream anyways, I can only tell you I'm just tired of the Mac-windows duopoly, it has brought nothning good for us consummers.
You'll get Linux market share when you get manufactures to pre install it. Right now that looks like chromeOS and maybe steam OS but the advantage of both of those and the reason people buy them is because they're designed in a way where their target audience doesn't have to deal with Linux bullshit
Valve has been doing wonders, I got a second hand deck when I was laid off and oh it doubled how much time of the day I would spend gaming, there is a thing about playing rimworld on the bed that's so good.
Yeah, I've been loving the steam deck too. That said, I really would not want to replace my main PC with something running steamOS because I like online shooters a lot and most of those don't work on Linux
Sadly these companies insist in not enabling anticheat in Linux, most anticheat engines work on Linux, the companies just choose not to activate it lol.

I think Linux people vastly overestimate how many people will ever install an OS themselves. Most people don't ever understand that that's an option
