alt Hacker News> SteamOS is just another GNU/Linux
if you are a gamedev considering support for SteamOS and considering support for generic Linux desktop they really really really REALLY are not the same. At all.

That is not true. Proton and steam linux runtime which are the components actually responsible to run games are literally the exact same code provided by the steam client.
Why not? Could you elaborate? I'd love to know more. I always had the feeling that supporting SteamOS basically meant that generic Linux Desktop support was almost implied because in the end it's almost always on Proton rather than native.
