Does steam run as well on other distros (Ubuntu, Pop, etc) as well as on SteamOS? (lemmy.ca)

*Like how much optimization did they do in SteamOS vs Linux in general?

Is SteamOS minimal changes just so it boots directly into the store and run everything full screen by default, or did they make deeper changes?

Yes, altough they have some additional settings on SteamOS that aren't integrated by default on other distros. And using it while running an regular desktop increases the input latency, so you'd have to log out to take full advantage of it's features (vrr, tearing).
