From what is known right you you can probably flash any Linux distro iso to a SD card and boot from that to install it. It really is just a regular PC.
Ideally, but not always. Did Valve say that somewhere?
software comes with the distro.
Again, ideally, but not always. Is it just strait-up steam which you can get in most distros? otherwise, how will they distribute it?, are they targeting certain distros?, etc
I guess you are referring to a legacy OS like Windows?
I wasn’t even thinking about that, but I guess some ppl will probably want to run EAC games in native windows. I was thinking, “does valve know something about the EAC-proton compatability that I dont” though
Yes this is a linux first device with components that are all supported my the mainline Linux kernel.
This is using SteamOS 3.0 by default, which is basically Arch Linux with a KDE desktop and an Steam big picture mode auto-launch script.
The have announced that they are working with EAC (and some other anti-cheat malware vendors) to get support for it in Proton before the release in December, so no need for Windows at all.

Yeah, by “easy” I meant about getting the drivers, software, etc.
Drivers are all in the Linux Kernel, software comes with the distro package manager.
