My understanding is that SteamOS, while having a desktop mode, is a stripped down OS lacking some basic functionality that you might expect from a desktop OS. Functionality that is also found in other distros with similar intentions like Bazzite.

Though this understanding was based more on a bit of older information, and I am not certain on the current state.
