And? What did happen?

And in fairness, the fifth attempt was on an intel platform.
60% percent of the time, it works every time
It smells like bigfoots dick
You won't believe it!
i donno. we were fine with stuff like bazzite for more than a year now. community based, most cases supports led lights on handhelds, has an installer for emulators and plugins by default...
Yeah, I have MiniPC running Nobara. I'm interested to see of SteamOS would work even if i have no intention of switching.
But gaming mini PCs with steamOS preinstalled might be a future product range that comes along so its interesting to see how close steamOS is to that.
The gaming focused distros are great and won't be harmed by that, but steamOS might grow the linux desktop further by being a viable windows alternative for people who want a bit more power than a steamdeck and want an off the shelf low or mid range gaming PC. Steam Machines may now actually be viable thanks to how far Proton has come. The original machines were probably 10 years too early.
