MODERATORS
I'd argue it hasn't imploded on you because it's immutable. You'd have a similar rock solid experience on any of the immutable Fedora releases (Silverblue, Kinoite etc) or some of the other immutable distros
That's fair, although it could go further with how an immutable distro isn't as effective for some of the desired uses - in the case of the Steam Deck it's designed to do what it does and it does it. Other Linux installs are retroactively configured by the user, where whether it's a regular computer for grandma or a server for a homelab will net you wildly different results of what distro you choose.
While it's nice having options, it doesn't make things easier for new users when searching. Having a hundred ways to solve a problem just makes the problem more annoying to solve (inb4 rtfm)
Also, I just remembered I lied. There's one other Linux install I've never had issues with which was Tails, though to your point can be operated as immutable, though I think at the time mine was not set up to be RO
