Yes, but the beauty of it is that it plugs in Steam immediately. If you're installing it on a machine that uses Steam and sometimes browses it is a one-stop shop.

I offloaded Windows 10 entirely, installed bazzite, and played Hollow Knight and the entire Dark Souls trilogy from the same installation on the same harddrive I'd had them on Windows. Didnt even need to reinstall.

To me that's impressive. I only had a few crashes overall too.
