Isn’t SteamOS Arch-based?
Yes its based on arch packages but its not the same as when people say “arch based distro” because SteamOS doesn’t inherit the arch problems because its not on archs update schedule. While other arch based distro’s follow the arch schedule and get all the issues that come with bleeding edge software.
Steam OS is basically just Manjaro.
Not at all. Manjaro holds packages back for 2 weeks and thats it. SteamOS has its entire root system setup in an immutable way. SteamOS doesnt enable pacman and expects users to only use flatpak for software.
