Were you not alive in 2013 when the first SteamOS released?

I was and I'm fairly confident it was never marketed as an "OS for everything", not 10 years ago, not today, and not anywhere in between, but I'm open to being proven wrong.

I did not forget what I said, it is not "obvious af", I am not trolling, and I understand English. I didn't say anything that related to or contradicted your statement. Would you care to explain or will you just continue insulting me?

Are you so pedantic you think when I say everything, I mean literally everything and not just, you know, a computer in general? It was built and marketed as a general OS with a focus on gaming, but also just as good for productivity.

I mean you did say literally everything, so yes. I did.

Yes, it is a general OS. The point was, as I said, it's a gaming-first OS, with little thought going into the desktop experience beyond whatever is packaged by Arch and KDE. Whereas Bazzite has a number of optimizations for the desktop experience like the Bazaar appstore, several Gnome extensions prepakcaged, fractional scaling pre-configured, a GUI for installing some common gaming software, ujust commands for things like installing Davinci and Waydroid, etc. etc.
