Well.

For thsoe that don't know three are three main systems in Linux. They use the same Kernel but have some slight command differences. They use different I'd say names but the format is thte same. Hard to explain. Example sudo apt update is Debian.  sudo pacman update is Arch. I don't remember what Fedora/Red Hat does. There are different ones than the ones I mentioned above but the three are the main ones. The ones that a newer person should stick with until they really know better or have a really specific case need to use something else. The commands mentioned above is a simple command you use to update your system. Note: this updates the programs and OS that you have from my understanding. sudo apt upgrade is a command where you get the newer version of the apps and such. Big difference especially for Arch .

There are versions that last a set number of years like Windows and there are rolling releases that constantly give you the newest and greatest. Rolling releases can cause problems as something might not be fully updated or there might be an unknonwn or a know issue that they are working on. Not a problem for someone that can roll back easily but can be a pain for someone that isn't that good with linux.

There are also immutable OSs that you update the entire OS (small download) when there is an update. You use sandboxed apps and if there is any problem there is a simple command and you can roll back to a previous OS edition. Think about Windoze when it gives you a major update that has a version number. When it fucks things up. You have to go in and dig through and find out which part screwed your OS. With a immutable OS just one command and reboot later and you are off to the races.  I have used Silver Blue from Fedora. It was quite good and I only moved to Mint as i could'n't use some of the apps I needed (without layering. That is another whole thing something you shouldn't need to get into and actually not advised by the developers. There is alot of information on this ont he web. Way better explainations that I have given.

Sad if true.

He did make sense.

I'd be happy if there was a limited application for Steam os.

Oh, not all is lost. Lots of what is being developed by Steam and other companies are being released to the public so that it can be added to other linux distros that will allow better support for your gaming sessions. Just reminder that the newest and greatest hardware and evne games might have some issues upon release. A good excuse to wait for a good sale for a tasty game you want to play. Or have a spare windoze computer (or duel boot ) to get those itches taken care of.
