I am well aware how similar the consoles have become to PC but there is also a distinct difference that consoles should always have that PCs won't for better or for worse which I explained on another post

And I also know that its not as custom to say the PS4/XB's level but it is certainly trying to be

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. I really don't see how it's trying to be custom though. That would be the same as me taking Ubuntu, changing the desktop to LXDE and calling it my own distrobution, which admittedly has happened, but it doesn't make it a different distrobution, it just makes it a spin on the Ubuntu Distro. 

Well it is trying to put all the typical linux experience in the backend and trying to push its UI onto the front. Valve is trying to make sure that Steam OS is gaming first and everything else later where as all the other versions of Linux are not... You look at all the different Linux OS's out there whether it be Ubuntu, SuSE, Redhat, Kali and etc, they all have similar enough UI experience even though they are used for different purposes but Steam OS on the other hand want it to be a very different experience.

Granted the coding itself and how Distro works isn't all that different and you can do all the linux functions without too much of a hassle once you know what you are doing but Valve certainly wants the "Big Picture" experience at the forefront of Steam OS rather than what the typical linux experience is. Oh and its not like they can't make their own distro in the future since valve has the money to do so
