Bazzite is my secomd choice but the SteamOS image has been available for awhile now. It's intended for Valve devices but my understanding is that people have been getting it to run on regular PC's. I haven't been keeping up with the latest news though, so I'm mot sure what the success rate is.

I just don't see why you'd wanna deal with all that jank to get Valve's proprietary OS running. In my experience, Steam games pretty much Just Work to about the same degree on any Linux distro thanks to how Proton works. And if you have any interest in non-Steam games, Bazzite is going to be a much better choice than SteamOS.

This box is 100% dedicated to running SteamVR and nothing else. Just makes sense to me to run SteamOS. If it really is janky though I'll switch to Bazzite. I'm months away from doing anything yet so I'll evaluate when the time comes.
