Doesn't it boot straight into steam big picture? That alone should be a deterrent to most people wanting to run it as a desktop OS.
The steamdeck has a desktop mode, which uses KDE plasma.
It's arch KDE under the hood, as long as a terminal is accessible and you have root privileges you could probably run an airplane on it if you'd like. The relevant point is the default setting, the thing that nobody changes and why google's paying apple 18 billion per year.
