Does SteamOS count as Linux?

Why wouldn't an Arch branch not be Linux?

How about Android?

Completely irrelevant because Steam games don't run on Android.

Because it's Valve's own OS. They might consider being first-party sufficient reason to not to lump it in with its third-party cousins.

Because it’s Valve’s own OS.

Still a regular GNU/Linux distribution. Even entertaining the idea it being anything else is ridiculous.

It's their own OS running on their own custom handheld. Treating it separately from other linux machines might be odd, but calling it "ridiculous" is being childish.
