Seen a few times bazzite has been mentioned, but just have seen another user say they have OpenSUSE installed.
I’m not sure what the benefits of these options are, especially non-steamOS ISOs?

Main reasons are for better software support and the option to use different desktop environments. For a gaming focused device I think SteamOS is great, but if I was docking my deck and using it as a development environment I would definitely want a less locked-down linux OS.
The appeal of Bazzite is that you still get all the benefits of SteamOS, but you also have more options for software and desktop environment. Other linux distros like OpenSUSE would have a even less restricted OS, although you would be making tradeoffs for some of the other nice things about SteamOS.
