There are already quite a few immutable distros you could use today like Bazzite or Fedora Atomic. The main advantage of SteamOS is that it's tailor made for specific hardware, an advantage it would automatically lose as a general purpose OS.

Name me a feature SteamOS has that Bazzite doesn't.

Do you have Bazzite installed on a Steam Deck?

I personally don't, no. I have it installed on a PC though.

I forgot I was using docked bazzite handheld as a pc for setup yesterday and started using it for my normal browsing. No differnce using zen there or on my pc, except the amount of tabs before I lag, way less resources but I didnt really experience issues (legion go s z2 go)
