Would you swap out Bazzite to SteamOS on your HTPC?

No. Frankly I trust the community to maintain my distro more than a trust Valve. Plus Bazzite is generally great and I like the ostree style of atomic Linux.
Definitely agree, particularly when it comes to security.
Valve takes a snapshot of Arch repos, frozen in time. They then spend months developing on top of this version. And by the time it's released, it's multiple months out of date. They don't pull in security updates; Arch is a rolling release, they don't backport fixes like Debian or Fedora does.
Yeah. I feel like SteamOS users are basically just getting Pierre-Loup Griffais' last successful Arch update. Bazzite feels more fleshed out to me, but to each their own.
