"The desktop" that is relevant for GNU/Linux distributions is a stagnant, shrinking market. You will see more Chromebooks than you will ever see Linux desktops. At first glance SteamOS does not even look like a GNU/Linux desktop. It's supposed to be a living room machine, complete with its own "SteamBox." Attributing anything important to SteamOS is akin to saying "Roku is Linux; this is really going to help us get some drivers."
