These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
It's very much a wait and see from my experience. The beefier the game the more risk you have that you'll have to play with settings.
Me personally since I have one of the originals, it has some fan issue that I haven't looked into getting replaced yet, so beefier games straight up will overheat it at varying speeds, which is a very frustrating experience.
While it does work docked and that's great, keep in mind one of the biggest benefits is being able to be portable as well, which isn't as easy for most desktops (especially switching between the two)
Definitely worth keeping track of when the steam OS is actually out of it's testing periods.
