+1, now using Bazzite as my main OS in general and for gaming, and only use the dualbooted Windows on a separate SSD when I have to play a game which contains a rootkit. There've been two of those, and I can live without them. Rotate games quite frequently, mostly just works.
I think if you like checking it out and customizing the settings of your OS, then try it out! Or at least look up the games you care about on ProtonDB.
Even encrypted the Bazzite SSD just out of paranoia caused by Windows. Even partner-proof so far.
Only ever used Nvidia so far, probably going to switch to AMD in 1-2 years, as I hear that they're better on Linux.
I discovered that you can actually encrypt the home directory on SteamOS as well, its a kind of ultra beta feature but it actually seems to work fairly reliably aside from requiring you to set it up via SSH from another computer
Bazzite basically is SteamOS for desktop. I’ve got a steam deck and PC with Bazzite and I probably couldn’t tell you which is which if you just showed me a TV with one of them running.
that's interesting to know, wasn't aware of this :) but then i'm even more confused what's wrong with my Bazzite, Steam Big Picture mode is unusable, runs at about 2 fps. i could debug it, but don't really use it anyways, just noticed when starting it.
