    You’d have to check one of the side-distros. SteamOS itself has no official installer yet, only available pre-installed on steamdeck.

    There are distros that are organized to recreate it for normal installation though.

    Though to be fair, that’s pretty “normie” to not have to experience the installation process at all. Most people will just use what shipped with their PC.

        I’d say Executables (for all their risks) make it pretty easy for less savy users to get apps not immediately made available to them, given there are definite security issues.

        But I will be fair that I think Linux’s flatpaks are helping a bit with making apps more available without worrying about the distro. Plus proton/wine lets users grab some of the useful exe’s from windows.

        It’s improving I do agree, but it’s something that will hopefully keep improving.
