The difference being that I want to use Windows only for games without all this other cloud integration crap that comes with it.
Steam OS is a Linux-based OS designed primarily for gaming. Any and all cloud-integration will be specifically gaming-focused.
Can you not see the difference between that and a general purpose OS like Windows harvesting data everything you do on your system?
I won't be using Steam OS to do anything very sensitive like sending or receiving personal e-mails, editing word documents or spreadsheets, or browsing the internet for whatever reason.
Unless you consider firing up a shooter or a city-building sim sensitive.
The two OS's have very different purposes and use-cases.
