    The average Steam Deck user does not even know it’s running Linux. How it’s going: millions sold and counting.

      Right. Because they’re interacting with an overlay the entire time, so they don’t have to deal with a shitty UI or manually performing any tasks.

      So that’s an irrelevant example.

          And? Most of the web servers people interact with run on Linux, too. But in both examples, they are not interacting with the Linux UI whatsoever, which is the thing we are discussing.

            The UI of SteamOS is a Linux UI. What else would it be?

            If you’re trolling, at least do some of the classics like confusion about too many UIs but denying that the UI of SteamOS isn’t a Linux UI is just dumb.
