Comment on My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be

You can install another distribution on it and make the desktop the default boot option! It’s not how I would use it but it’s a major selling point for me. I’m not stuck with the walled garden, even in the default OS!

Could make it Bazzite, and it would probably work just a well as SteamOS

Replacing it with Bazzite is a great option if you want to do anything that SteamOS is too restrictive for without sacrificing any of the features

Bazzite is also immutable

Steam’s “immutable” system isn’t that bad. It will revert a lot of stuff during OS updates, but Stable doesn’t go through that very often. I put all of my changes into a shell script and reapply it when that happens.

Yeah, I love we can do that if we want, even though I don’t do it much myself
