For someone like me I see it as what could be a nice alternative to Windows, especially after having tried Win 10 and just not liking it along with MS approach to locking down PC gaming, I'd rather take Steam OS than being locked to Win 10. It's always good to have more options, especially in terms of a different OS.

I hear ya, but at the rate things are going SteamOS has little chance of being a good alternative to Windows. I like competition but nothing interesting is happening in Linux gaming. Its just different OS that plays some games found on Windows.

People that don't like Windows 10 are very vocal, but it seems like many are content with it. If you don't like it, well Windows 7 is still an option.

Things take time to perfect, for example, those robotic Big dogs that Boston Dynamics had a year or two ago from from being big and bulky to being small and quit while also display effinceny. We had phones from some years ago that couldn't do what phones do today. Linux years ago wasn't anywhere in the decent position it is today, time has changed all of those.

Doens't matter what chances it has, it hasn't stopped people from usingLinux to play games with for years and years. I don't know what Steam OS has to do to make it dreastically different than Windows, it just needs to play games and be good at running them, there isn't anything interesting about an OS running some games, hell none of the Windows OS's have blown my socks away, them being able to play games has been the norm for me for a very long time.

Many is subjective considering the number that still use Linux and it;s distros, Mac users, Win 7-8.1 users and then people using Android. There are 7 billion on this rock, most arne't using 10, otherwise we'd be seeing insane adoption numbes like 6 billion, but that's unlikley to happen due to the other forms of competition in the market.  Yes 7 is still an option but it won't be around for a long time and Steam OS improving over time makes it a viable option for me to use when devs decide to stop support for Win 7.
