No reason to use SteamOS, it's just immutable Arch with an A/B partition scheme. Modern SteamOS is designed specifically for the Steam Deck and they only ship it as a recovery image for the Deck.

You can install Steam on whatever distribution you want, I use the Flatpak, and just enable Proton in the compatibility settings.

And if someone’s after that console-like functionality, ChimeraOS is the right choice in this area. It behaves like SteamOS, but is more compatible with PC hardware.

Ok awesome suggestions.

I got set on SteamOS as i was contemplating buying an SBC with similar hardware and giving it a custom case.

But this looks better!
