cool option, it just feel slightly strange to juggle another distro. which is exactly why I will still wait for valve's steam machine

/me looks at NixOS, Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, alpine installations

Right, juggling another distro. Strange. Right.

PLEASE let us know how it goes.

If you're going for sonething like Bazzite or another atomic distro there's (in my experience) not much to juggle, it all updates itself, rollbacks are super easy if something goes arwry (which hasn't for a long time), I couldn't be happier.

Yeah, also going by the steam deck I trust valve's hardware quality.
