My brother plays games on Windows. I tried to convert him to Linux like two times, but he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't even play multiplayer games. Just single-player and co-op games. So Anticheat wouldn't be a problem. When I said to him that Steam is releasing their own Linux distro, he said: Sure, I will try that.

That was almost 3 years ago and there still isn't official steamos for desktop.

SteamOS at the end of the day just is an immutable distro with game mode for the steam deck. Bazzite does the same for PCs. I get that there is some level of brand recognition with Steam, but I think most people (including me) would take a while to notice there is something of when they are handed a steam deck with bazzite
