      It’s an immutable version of stripped Arch, dunno if that counts as ‘slightly restricted’. You can disable the read-only mode if you want to and know what you’re doing.

          I mean for average console user, you can do a whole lot. Even for your average Windows user.

          And if you drive Linux… I’m not sure why you couldn’t handle SteamOS?

            I can, what I am saying is the way the steamos is built, its a bit harder for new users to do more advanced stuff, not that its that limited. I so admit I could’ve phrased IT better though
