That's not how most malware works though. It's pretty rare that it's targeted rather than something just looking to take advantage of whatever security hole is present.

Like, I highly doubt anyone is making Steam OS specific malware, but if there's some security hole in the kernel, a piece of malware targeting that isn't going to check if it's a handheld gaming device and stop.
