I know Bazzite is the deck build for HTPC, and is in testing right now for the next updates. There really isn't any difference between in Bazzite or SteamOS in my understanding. Any advantages to change over I am missing?

Not my first go-round, and I've loaded Bazzite before, but I wasn't trying to do gaming on that HTPC system so I ended up with Fedora KDE Plasma which I do like. It will require drivers for a laptop and it sounds like CachyOS is better suited for that.

Appreciate yours and the others' input! Am going with CachyOS.
