What you're saying is false though.

You can read about what kernel SteamOS is using. The kernel itself is only like ~150MB, there isn't really a need to slim it down. I think, if anything, Valve contributes to the mainline kernel for linux.

Proton is the "fine-tuning", the OS is just Arch Linux with a paint job.

    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.

    False equivalency, obviously.

    That being said your mindset is literally the mindset the homophobes have... Hearing the words "gay couple" means having to think about homosexuals and causes them discomfort and they want it gone. You literally just identifying as a gay man makes them think of exactly what you typed out there.

    I'm experiencing the same both on the website and using Jerboa like @Scoopta mentioned.

    Edit: Noticed that they're taking donations now (they weren't a few months ago). Decided to throw a few dollars a month to help out. I encourage everyone to do the same 🙂
