Would you swap out Bazzite to SteamOS on your HTPC? (lemmy.world)

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?

I installed cachyOS on my gaming laptop mid last year, and I've been really happy with it. Very few issues I couldn't easily troubleshoot myself.

Not that it's a relevant comparison, but I installed bazzite on my handheld, and had enough problems with it that I installed cachy instead.

I've seen plenty of people happy with either, so I guess it's mostly personal preference re: arch vs fedora, immutable distros, etc etc
