I’m thinking about switching to SteamOS since it’s built for gaming. Most of my games run fine on Linux Mint, but not all of them. I also heard Valve say “it’s just a PC”, does that mean it’s suitable for software development too?

The gamescope micro compositor does make games run better. You can obviously run that on others distros as well, but on SteamOS it’s out-of-the-box.
Is SteamOS immutable though? I thought that was just Bazzite.
Yes, SteamOS is an immutable version of Arch (Bazzite is immutable Fedora)
I don’t know of the version that’ll be available (when ever that happens), but on steamdeck it is.
