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.

We will find it in time like we do for everything else.

Apple still finds success where MS seemingly does not, especially if we look at the console market for 3 gens, they still haven't managed to win a single gen outright, their phone sector isn't doing so hot either as well as the tablet side, gaming on PC itself is taking hits and isn't turning many heads either compared to the competition. Steam OS is existing like Linux does, in the same space Linux has been for decades, it's like Nintendo existing in it's own bubble where it does it's own thing.

I wouldn't say it's been a failure though, a failure would be it not working full stop along with running performance at a very terrible unplayable rate for everyone universally (talking all of us, not a few, all).

SteamOS is a failure so now we're gonna talking about MS mobile devices? No thanks, lets move on.

Looking at Steam's statistics, Windows 10 is the most popular OS and Windows accounts for 95%. Meanwhile Linux is less than 1%. That's a pretty good indication of how irrelevant SteamOS is.

I think I've made my point and arguing is gonna change the facts. At the rate things are going, its gonna be very difficult for SteamOS to gain traction. Especially if its just gonna get ports of games on Windows with worse performance.
