The version of SteamOS used on the SteamDeck is not publically available.
They could go with a linux distribution though, but the setup process for many consumers would proobably be too complicated if they don’t make their own launcher/interface.
Then why does tidal for the same price as spotify with way less users pay four times as much to the artists than spotify? Spotify has the largest market share and now they are trying to milk the cow as much as they can because people are too lazy to switch. Most people don’t even know that you can transfer playlists. Same with Netflix (although they at least have more exclusive content).
It’s obviously scanned from a newspaper. Not everything is a conspiracy…
Edit: Found another picture:
I bet they will release some rebranded chinese android console with a shitload of cracked games and call it a day.
