Bazzite also has a better package management system. SteamOS is meant for gaming almost exclusively, whereas Bazzite is meant for both.
After using Bazzite, I'm convinced that image based distros are the future for end users. Need to install an app? Flatpak. Need to install command line? Homebrew.
It all installs in user space. And Flatpak at least uses an effective sandbox system.
Distros that maintain their own package spaces are duplicating a. lot. of work.
The downside of Flatpak is the disk space usage. But that doesn't matter as much to me as it used to.
Disk space usage isn't that bad anyway since there's some deduplication going on.
I ran SteamOS for a while before they made the recent announcement. It works great. Previously, just had to tell it to always boot in Desktop mode.
