Updated SteamOS partner guidelines seem to point to an imminent full-scale launch of SteamOS on other gaming handhelds out of the box, nevermind simply as an ISO for gamers to install on their own machines. Previous work suggests the Asus ROG Ally may be among the first to receive "Powered by SteamOS" certification.

Check out Bazzite. It even has a GNOME variant.

Pretty solid on desktop. Most issues i have are upstteam and not bazzite related. Main annoying thing is you can’t install fedora packages and have to mainly rely on appimages and flatpaks

I second Bazzite. It’s been a phenomenal experience on my laptop.

Interestingly, I was messing with BoxBuddy a week or two ago, and looking at what distroboxes were available to install, and there’s a SteamOS container on there. Not sure if it’s official or what, but I was able to run games on it (though absolutely unnecessary).
