Like it or hate it, SteamOS is what the people want. I mentioned in another comment about it. You can argue over what is a better distro all day, but in the end, what's going to cause people to jump ship isn't Bazzite - it's SteamOS. Bazzite makes sense only to the people who already know what each distro is, and attempting to blame Linus (and, by proxy, the portion of his audience wanting to jump ship) for choosing SteamOS over Bazzite is exactly the sort of unwelcoming behavior that I'm concerned will drive away people. There are better and more productive ways of pushing for more established distros, but more importantly than that, we need to accept that SteamOS is a fundamental criterion for this set of audience to make a leap towards Linux, and we should be encouraging them to try out SteamOS instead of bikeshedding over which distro is best for people who have already made up their mind about SteamOS
