Do you think using a steam deck counts? On one hand it is Linux, but on the other hand the default experience is more of a console than a PC.

If you stick to Steam games and skip everything else then no, it doesn’t.

This kind of gatekeeping is what scares people off.

Scares off from what exactly? They’re using some gaming system and don’t care about what’s running under the hood. They may be perfectly unaware that it’s Linux or what exactly it is and why should they even care.

Its not gatekeeping when if you don't use the underlying Arch system you're not getting the same experience as "using linux".

If you ever go into the desktop to do anything at all I'd say you're getting the Arch Linux experience.
