I mean with desktop OS systems you've got

* macs, which cost an arm and a leg and aren't necessarily better if you've got an axe to grind against corporations with dark patterns

* chromebooks, where you have even less choice over the matter

* various flavors of Linux, which have never quite gotten to 'grandma uses it and it just works with the apps she likes'

Interestingly SteamOS is quite nice, but will it be something outside of gaming on a Steam Deck?

Considering their website[1] still says it's Debian derived but they switched to Arch some time ago, I doubt it's in their plans to do more than enable their own hardware.
