extremely watered down linux for gaming
essentially 'linnix'

If you want to try it just open Steam in Big Picture mode. It's basically just Linux with Steam installed.

It's Debian GNU/Linux with some changes and a bunch of things pre-installed, including Steam.

Generally, you'd want to use Windows. There's not really a whole lot of support for gaming on Linux yet.

Also its really unfinished.

Well it's a form of linux that runs in big picture mode. This means it has a linux level of compatibility with games. Essentially most of your games probably wouldn't work on it. So pretty much yeah it is stuff, for now at least.
