The people at RetroDECK are working on a significant new update, including Wii U emulation and experimental multi-user support, among many other features.
If you check out the CUP Project: https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/issues/194 it's within that scope. So we are working on it, it's not an easy task and part one of CUP is "completed" (as a first version) now in 0.7b.

Steam Deck emulation installer EmuDeck 2.1 launched
A similar option is doing this via RetroDeck[0] which is a flatpak wrapper around RetroArch, and includes several more emulators not included in the RA flatpak.

Help with micro sd containing Holiso linux
Today I tried to install this https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso, a version of arch Linux, on a 64 gb Sandisk sd card. After installing, the linux would not start. I tried to boot it on multiple devices with no luck. And now the sd card seems to be stuck in read only. Windows says it requires a format to work, which fails. Linux is able to read it but in properties says only the user “root” can write things on the card. Is this the card dying or is there a way to gain access??

SteamOS now available for custom hardware
I have not personally tried it, but HoloISO claims to bring SteamOS 3 (the current arch-based version) to generic non-Steamdeck hardware.

Why is it taking so long Valve, hurry up and put 3.5 on preview pretty please, I am dying waiting grrrrr
There's an open issue about it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/742—since Dec 2021. There is https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso though, but I suppose they just use the same binary packages as the real stuff..

Help w choice between Steam Deck and ROG Ally
The Steam Deck is less powerful but can accommodate a cheaper pricepoint. I see you are fairly experienced with general Linux so I will spare you the details, other than that ProtonDB is an excellent resource. The Ally is said by many to be less comfortable and it also lacks 2 back buttons and touchpads. The Ally can actually run SteamOS via HoloISO and it is a fairly good experience. Alternatively, if you stick with windows, you can get the Steam Deck UI by using Steam Big Picture.

which linux OS is best for gaming?
The Project you mean is called HoloISO - which according to their Github - This project attempts to bring the Steam Deck's SteamOS Holo redistribution into a generic, installable format, and provide a close-to-official SteamOS experience. (There is also ChimeraOS that features some more things)

Why Does Valve Not Have Their OS public?
