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?

They aren't the same at all. SteamOS is based on Arch and Bazzite on Fedora. They use different versions of software. Bazzite just aims to work the same as SteamOS.

The advantage of Bazzite is that you have more control over your system.
