Well Linux has been around for a long time. There was even a period in the early 2000s that PC manufacturers were trying to sell PCs with Linux installed at retail. Its just never had the software support or user friendliness to be a viable option. Apple PCs have also been used for gaming for many years, but avid gamers stick with WIndows for obvious reasons.

SteamOS isn't doing anything intersting therefore people don't see any reason to switch. Cutting edge PC gaming happens on Windows, while Linux users beg for more ports. Hence, the interesting stuff is happening on Windows.

I don't think Windows 7 gaming support is gonna end anytime soon, outside of some exceptions like MS's WIndows 10 exclusives.

When I said "many", I clearly meant PC users. I find it hard to believe you didn't understand that.

I don't see room in the market for Linux (not for a significant audience atleast). But Windows does have competition, mobile devices like Android are a great alternitive for many PC functions.

It still won't stop Steam OS from existing or growing to become an option regardless. Just look at what Apple has over MS that MS themselves cannot grasp despite both having been around for a long time, if you want to knock down Linux some pegs then knock down MS for they haven't got what Apple still has at the top of the chain, phones tablets and all.

Is Steam OS growing? I'm sure people are trying it but are significant number sticking with it? Who knows.

Apple found success mostly where MS does not. Steam OS is going head on with Windows PCs and doing nothing else I'm aware of. With that said, Steam OS has been a failure thus far.
