It's a little more than that.

SteamOS also uses an immutable filesystem and the system updates as a whole. Because of that, there is no risk of something updating separately and breaking compatibility.
It's fairly common for things to update on regular linux distros and break e.g. anticheat support in Proton or some other thing.

Another thing SteamOS does, at least on the Steam Desk, is actually using two partitions. The updates are always installed to the inactive one, so there's always one image that's known to work. Even if an update fails, the device will simply boot into the intact OS image. Regular distros usually don't have much in terms of fail-safes, so if things break, they have to be fixed manually.

Basically, SteamOS is trying to be as reliable and "hands-off" of an OS as possible to provide best console-like experience.

SteamOS is an OS for gaming consoles. It's specifically tailored for gaming and it has controller-friendly UI.

You can game on regular distros, but you need to install and open Steam, download games, and, then, launch them, before you can grab the controller.

It'll be added when they'd find some free time!

You see, adding pictures women with white cane facing right, limes and pregnant men is a very important and time consuming job! Standardizing encoding for some human language people use is just not as important!

There are "Video Rooms". They're in beta too.
Also, screen sharing is done via the same platform agnostic web APIs every other Electron-based app uses, though.
I got rid of screen capture induced lag by switching to Wayland.

Is this particularly surprising? The current global sentiment can be summed up as "all Russian should stay in Russia", pretty much. Should've picked a better country to be born in, I suppose.

Element has been working for me and my friends. At the moment, it just embeds Jitsi within the client to do group calls (which works fine. Jisti isn't bad by any means), but native group calls are being worked on and are currently in beta!

Most music I have is from "Pay what you want" albums from Ponies@Dawn, VibePoniez, A State Of Sugar, etc.
When I come across artists I like, I tend to check out their other tracks and grab the ones I like.

On my devices like PCs, laptops or phones, syncthing syncs all my .rc files, configs, keys, etc.

For things like servers, routers, etc. I rely on OpenSSH's ability to send over environmental variables to send my aliases and functions.
On the remote I have
[ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ] && eval "$(echo "$LC_RC" | { { base64 -d || openssl base64 -d; } | gzip -d; } 2>/dev/null)"
in whatever is loaded when I connect (.bashrc, usually)
On the local machine
alias ssh="$([ -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ] && echo 'LC_RC=$(gzip < ~/.rc | base64 -w 0)') ssh'

That's not the best way to do that by any means (it doesn't work with dropbear, for example), but for cases like that I have other non-generic, one-off solutions.

Making things that were never about race into things about race, just to have one more reason to be potentially offended by, is not productive and doesn't help anyone.

By exercising enough mental gymnastics almost any term could be twisted into something supposedly offensive. The real solution to that problem: don't do mental gymnastics.
