It's arch, so no. The hardware that utilizes the OS is fine tuned to be used with a controller, since a controller is literally built into it.

Proton is the fine tuned bit, but that runs on many distros.

    That is not the smoking gun you think it is.

    Again... SteamOS is just an immutable version of Arch Linux. That's what they are talking about in the article when they talk about turning off "read-only" mode. Being immutable makes it less likely to break/more stable, but doesn't "fine-tune" it for gaming.

    Saying it's "fine-tuned" for gaming takes away from what is actually doing the heavy lifting for gaming on linux, which is Proton. One could argue Proton is "fine-tuned" WINE, but SteamOS is not "fine-tuned" for gaming.
