SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go S models. We’re currently working on adding support for more devices.
Unless you specifically want Steam OS’s gaming mode, any Linux distro (Arch definitely) with KDE Plasma 6 will give you more or less the same experience. Not that I don’t think Valve should do so.
Bazzite is basically just Steam OS but support for more hardware. And easier to extend. You could drop it on your steam deck and if you don’t muck around in the terminal you probably wouldn’t know.
They all work with wine. Only for you I will spin up an image of AmongOS and Hannah Montana Linux with a flatpak of Lutris and play cyberpunk on there
And I already know, it won’t change shit if its Debian 2, as long as a flatpak of lutris runs on it, it will have the same performance as with steam OS
Pretty much. If it works for the steam deck it should work for the desktop. There are some exceptions for some brand new games. But if you want to wait a week or two for new releases usually it’s fine.

With the same game comparability as steamos? Idk much about this stuff…

Yes.
If you want the same UX, check out Bazzite, it’s designed to replace SteamOS directly.

afaik yes, you just have to install Steam and Enable Steam Play. There’s also Lutris which includes support for Steam and other stores.
