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
Edit: to be clear, SteamOS will let you do just about anything, but the way the updates work will override a decent amount of changes you make, since the OS is immutable by default and designed not to be modified.
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
