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?

Nah. Bazzite has been rock solid and have done so much to assist with compatibility with 3rd party hardware. SteamOS is of course great, but steamos is focused on their hardware, because is focused on making it work for everyone.

In other words I ain't lookin to fix what ain't broken

I'm a little worried that the impending switch to InputPlumber on the Deck version of Bazzite is going to be really rough.
