I know Bazzite is the deck build for HTPC, and is in testing right now for the next updates. There really isn’t any difference between in Bazzite or SteamOS in my understanding. Any advantages to change over I am missing?

They are both good options. The general way I break it down is:
Is this your first Linux PC? Bazzite
Is this a home theater PC or other console like device? Bazzite
Do you have a lot of specialized hardware that needs custom drivers / kernel modules? CachyOS
Do you want to be able to more easily customize parts of the os? CachyOS
Obviously not every case is covered here but hopefully that gives you a bit more of an idea of what each distro is better at. Performance wise they are nearly identical, tbh the biggest difference is that Bazzite is an atomic distro and CachyOS isn’t.
Not my first go-round, and I’ve loaded Bazzite before, but I wasn’t trying to do gaming on that HTPC system so I ended up with Fedora KDE Plasma which I do like. It will require drivers for a laptop and it sounds like CachyOS is better suited for that.
Appreciate yours and the others’ input! Am going with CachyOS.
