This comparison makes no sense. Linux is still not a good gaming OS.

Steam OS might be based on Linux, but it’s highly supported and games are tuned up for the specific hardware and software combo.

So it’s nowhere near a fair comparison.

It’s like saying Linux is a good gaming OS because Switch Os is based on it.

Hm? Games aren't really tuned for either the Deck or SteamOS, which is more or less just a standard Linux distro. The compatibility with games that the Steam Deck has is achieved on any other Linux distro just by installing Steam. There aren't any games that work on the Steam Deck that won't work on Linux in general.

The Switch OS is not based on Linux.
