  Right, but it’s a different distro than the one being referred to here.

  That one is based on Debian and has existed since 2013. The version on Steam Deck is Arch-based immutable and has not been publicly released yet.

      Like the wiki says:

      Only available as the system image for the Steam Deck.

      So OK sure, but you can literally only use it on the Steam Deck which already comes with it pre-installed.

        Yes, as I said in my initial comment, there is no general purpose release.
