Gabecube is very nice and open compared to a normal console, but if you’re coming from a pc, it’s the opposite in some ways. I personally would not want an os built around an online login.
The OS is not built around any login. It just boots straight into Steam by default. This is the experience consumers expect from a console. But of course you can just exit it, and since it’s Linux you can even disable it entirely.
I don’t know if the OS exactly requires an online login, but it basically boots into the Steam client, and that won’t do you much good without a Steam account.
Yeah this is incorrect the OS doesn’t require a steam login to work. You can bypass the steam login at boot if you want to and only need it to play steam games.

Does not need an online login.
Or atomic… I love tinkering too much
You can have immuability without loosing tinkering possibilities. I do that on NixOS.
The more I learn the more I don’t want flatpaks on my machine so of course I am requiring something else than SteamOS or bazzite.
The OS requires an online login?
Require? I’m pretty sure you can get to desktop without, but how about big picture and gamescope? I’ve never seen steam ui without logging in.
You click “offline mode” if thats what you want.
