   Ah yes, CUPS, that integral structural part of Linux where if it doesn't exist, Linux simply is unable to function and be called Linux

     @apropos hat's not what I mean, there's a mode that disables the immutabliness and basically lets you use it like Arch

     >if you activate dev mode
     you go to the power menu and one of the options is "desktop mode". It's not even a special dev mode, it's a very visible reboot option.

     @BrodieOnLinux OK, but I wouldn't count the immutableness against it being Linux. There's stuff like Fedora CoreOS out there. Even Android giving every program its own uid and having a common messaging bus is something a distro could do.

     @BrodieOnLinux haters gonna hate . Anyway ѕo if I boot my Arch Linux PC, run Steam and enter Big Picture Mode, it suddenly becomes not Linux… or is it just because I have Steam installed? І՝m confused

     @aismallard Most of the time you're not in desktop mode, the games you're running are in gamescope a Wayland compositor so it's a bit of both.

     @BrodieOnLinux you can also just… install cups?

     the X11 thing is a legitimate criticism of SteamOS, but it’s not a legitimate criticism of the idea that it’s linux lol

     @BrodieOnLinux its also extremely easy to install Bazzite on the steam deck anyways which is much easier to install programs and things on anyways, and is made specifically for steam deck and other handhelds

     @BrodieOnLinux name another kernel that gets mistaken for an entire OS. You can't be mad at people for not understanding the distinction

     @macberg You just dissociate and have some fun with it, don't take internet comment too seriously.

     @BrodieOnLinux How do you have the energy to read and interact with all profoundly annoying people and comments? Just reading two of them makes me want to jump off a bridge.
