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?

Wouldn’t full disk encryption just slow everything down? Seems like a bad idea for a gaming system

Nah, games only hit the disk when they're loading stuff which is expected to be slow anyways.

Plus I think all modern processors have special chips for cryptography stuff which makes it almost free.

Edit: And apparently the good folks over at Cloudflare have improved that even further. Got to remember to test this when I've got the time. With any luck it's enabled by default.
