Just sharing this really well produced video on Linux’s public perception (since this channel has suprisingly not a lot of subscribers)

Steam OS is but part of the media as shown in the video, just call it Linux and Linux itself does not come from Valve.
Technically, the Nintendo Switch uses Linux, and Android is Linux, so its kind of absurd the pushback Steamdecks are getting from these people. They aren’t afraid of Linux; They are afraid of the posibility of running a terminal and interacting with a Desktop Environment that isn’t Windows or MacOS. Doesn’t make any sense.
It comes from valve as much as anyone. No distribution Developers actually develop Linux themselves in the same way Microsoft develops windows. Or to an extent the way Apple is building on top of BSD these days.
Linux comes from valve as much as it comes from Debian or Ubuntu, Arch and Redhat. Valve compiles their kernel the same as all the others do. So it’s no less Linux than any other Linux distribution is. And frankly with the work valve do on proton etc. They actually contribute a lot more to the underpinnings of the Linux ecosystem than most other distributions do.
