Seen a few times bazzite has been mentioned, but just have seen another user say they have OpenSUSE installed.

I'm not sure what the benefits of these options are, especially non-steamOS ISOs?

Mine is just running stock, but depending on what you're trying to do with it I could imagine that a few things might not be palatable to some.

  1. The read only by default file system
  2. It kinda nukes everything on the system on update
  3. So much of how it handles the Linux side user profiles depends on there only being the default user

Thank you. Reading through responses this seems to answer it, I could imagine once you're modifyinf foundational OS binaries you don't want to have a SteamOS update nuke it.
