If SteamOS doesn't work on your mini PC you can try the CachyOS "handheld" edition. It launches with the Steam game mode front end and looks exactly like SteamOS but has support for more hardware.

I put it on my Steam Deck and it's been great, bit snappier. I would totally throw it on a HTPC type box and hook it up to a TV.

Cool suggestion! My Mini-PC is primarily a NAS/Jellyfin server tho, so no need for Steam there. Mint does fine.
