Latest non-LTS Ubuntu could be high up the Steam Survey list but isn’t. The strongest general purpose distribution is Arch Linux.

Probably because everybody with a Steam Desk shows up as Arch in the survey.

Had you looked up the current stats, you would have known that this is completely false. SteamOS is in massive lead and I used the phrase “general purpose distribution” for a reason.

I looked at the August 2024 results and SteamOS was not mentioned anywhere in the OS version section.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
