So, to summarize:

  1. There are no problems except when there are problems
  2. Yeah, one vendor getting an unhealthy market share is bad so let’s give Valve that marketshare

Also “immutable” is generally used to refer to how SteamOS handles package/library versions. Its an increasing push among many “user friendly” distros that I generally like. But it is also why we basically all said “Uhm… da fuq?” when ayaneo talked about running steamos. And is why they are actually running holoos (?).

Also, it predates the vast majority of us but it is worth looking at the actual rise of Windows. A lot of the arguments you are making have direct parallels to why people should use ms-dos and later windows over a lot of the older dos OSes. Or, again, look at the rise of Google Chrome and Android. A company can start off “awesome” but end up becoming the bogeyman we all hate.
